Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Fibromyalgia: present confirmed diagnosis of fibromyalgia by rheumatologist. According to the American College of Rheumatology for the characterization of the disease, the symptoms must persist for at least 3 months. Control: not present rheumatic disease or serious general health changes and not be inserted in any physical activity program. These women were selected paired form (1:1) according to age and anthropometric variables with fibromyalgia group.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: being a smoker; drinking alcohol; make use of immunosuppressive medication; present any concomitant disease that can be exacerbated by physical activity; pregnancy; orthopedic impairments; respiratory and inflammatory diseases or cardiovascular diseases; be followed up with a psychiatrist, or perform physical activity for the same 2 times a week; Acute hernia; thrombosis; epilepsy; orthopedic injuries; prostheses. The above criteria were used for both groups.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Initially it was expected that women presented with fibromyalgia neuro-endocrine higher concentrations of inflammatory markers compared with asymptomatic women at rest. In addition, it was expected that the whole body vibration stimulus to reduce the concentration of these biomarkers demonstrating the beneficial effect of this intervention. That is, it was expected modulation of neuroendocrine-inflammatory parameters by acute exercise of whole body vibration and increased oxygen consumption and heart rate by acute exercise of whole body vibration.;After the study of end results showed that individuals with fibromyalgia have an "status inflammatory" inherent disease and acute stimulation of whole body vibration (low intensity and short duration), seem to be enough to cause interaction (disease versus stimulus) and thus, modulation of inflammatory markers in order to fit inflammation homeostasis. Also the acute stimulation of whole body vibration promoted an increase in oxygen consumption and heart rate in a manner similar between groups. | — |

| To characterize the sample it was expected that women with fibromyalgia presented lower scores compared with the group of asymptomatic women, the evaluated questionnaires, such as above 70 scores on the fibromyalgia impact questionnaire, rating depression by Depression Inventory Beck with scores above 20, more than 11 tender points, and worse performance in the test and sit up from his chair.;After the study results demonstrate that women with fibromyalgia have an average score of 75.58 on the impact questionnaire fibromyalgia. Ratings in this questionnaire above 70 on a scale of zero to 100 are considered severe impact of the disease. Regarding the Beck Depression Inventory showed a score of 22.10 and the women in the control group showed score 10.90. Scores above 17 are classified as having depression. Also women with fibromyalgia had an average of 14.1 points painful, since the women in the control group 0.85. It was also identified worst performance on the sit and up from a chair test of the fibromyalgia group with an average of 8 reps while asymptomatic women performed 12 repetitions on average. | — |
