Resist training circuit with weight and supplementation of ômega-3 improves symptoms under the pain in adult women bearer of fibromyalgia
Abstract
Fibromyalgia is a rheumatic syndrome non-articulate, from ignored origin, characterized by diffuse and chronic muscle-skeleton pain and presence of several tangible pain areas, denominated tender points. The present study has as objective verifies if there was symptom alteration on the pain picture of an adult woman, fibromyalgia bearer, submitted to resisted training with omega-3 supplement in capsules, during eleven weeks with purpose of verifying the association of the training to the supplementation in the improvement of her pathological picture. Materials and Methods: Forty-eight year-old teacher complains about strong pains for the whole body, being diagnosed two years ago as fibromyalgia bearer. She was submit to a resist circuit training with weights, on inserted days and omega-3 supplementation in capsules of 1000mg, ingesting two capsules daily. Results: Before starts supplementation and training, pain episodes were daily and with very high intensity. With the beginning of the training and supplementation, the pain episodes and intensity began to decrease, becoming more and more spaced during the study. Conclusion: it can be affirm that the combination of moderate intensity resisted exercise together with omega 3 supplementation is capable to lessen pain frequency and intensity on fibromyalgia patients.
