Abstract
[EN] Objective: To determine whether there is a direct link between quality of life and
aerobic capacity among female fibromyalgia patients.
Design: Cross-section study.
Setting: University of Leo´ n.
Subjects: Twenty-nine women belonging to the Leo´ n Fibromyalgia and Chronic
Fatigue Association.
Main measurements: Aerobic capacity and quality of life were measured by means
of the Six-Minute Walk Test and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire. Outcome
measures included heart rate and rate of perceived fatigue and dypsnoea.
Results: The average distance walked was 432.8 (61.2) m and the total average
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire score was 47.5 (18.9). Only item 1 of the
Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, physical function, showed any statistically
significant link with the distance walked, which had no statistically significant rela-
tionship with any of the variables studied.
Conclusion: The physical fitness of women with fibromyalgia, as determined by the
Six-Minute Walk Test and the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, has no direct
relation with quality of life as the patients perceive it.
