second month 70%
third month 90% of maximum strength). The intensity of the exercises (total load in kg), the interval between sets (rest in seconds), the volume (number of sets, repetitions, and time under tension),

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate the effect of 24 sessions of progressive-intensity strength training and constant-intensity exercises on the impact of fibromyalgia. We will assess the impact of fibromyalgia using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire Revised (FIQ-R) and expect to identify a 27-point reduction (considered the minimal clinically important difference) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To evaluate changes in sleep quality, anxiety, depression, cutaneous sensory threshold, wind-up mechanism, diffuse nociceptive inhibitory control, walking ability, musculoskeletal capacity after 24 sessions of resistance training, as well as global perceived effect and adherence regarding treatment and impact of fibromyalgia during the intervention and after 3 months of non-exercise follow-up | — |
