Exercise in fibromyalgia

Scientists examined the effects of exercise on levels of tiredness in lean, overweight and obese people with fibromyalgia and published their findings in Arthritis Research and Therapy. A total of 48 people with fibromyalgia exercised for 15 weeks. Nine were lean, 26 overweight and 13 obese.

Exercise reduced tiredness in the entire study group but the effect was achieved earlier in lean patients.
