Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2Efficacy of Different Exercises in Women With Fibromyalgia Syndrome: a Randomised Controlled Trial(Clinical & Exper Rheumatology, 2025) Sevgin, O.; Bugday, B.; Baykara, R. Aydogan; Gunendi, G.; Akkurt, B.; Atasoy, H.; Karamancioglu, B.Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of aerobic exercise, resistance exercise combined with aerobic exercise, and yoga exercises combined with aerobic exercise on pain and disease activity in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FM). Methods The study population comprised 60 individuals with FM who met the inclusion criteria. The participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups. The first group underwent aerobic exercise (n=20), the second group combined aerobic exercise with yoga (n=20), and the third group engaged in aerobic and resistance exercise (n=20). All exercise interventions were conducted for a total of 12 weeks. Disease activity was evaluated using the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), while pain status was assessed with the Melzack-Melzack Pain Questionnaire (MMPQ). All assessments were conducted before and following the completion of the exercise programme. The clinical trial number of this study is NCT06006494. Results The measurements of the aerobic exercise and yoga group were significantly lower than those of the aerobic and resistance exercise group. A statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of post-treatment MMPQ scores. The measurements of the aerobic exercise and yoga group were significantly lower than those of the aerobic exercise only and aerobic and resistance exercise groups. No statistically significant difference was observed between the post-treatment MMPQ scores of the aerobic and aerobic resistance exercise groups. Conclusion The combination of aerobic exercise and yoga is more efficacious in the treatment of FM than aerobic exercise alone or a combination of resistance exercises and aerobic exercise.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Investigation of Acute Effects of Slow Controlled Breathing on Fatigue and Vital Markers During Recovery Phase(AVES, 2023) Atli, E.; Uyanik, S.; Yildirim, A.; Yekteuşaklari, N.; Uzun, G.D.; Acar, M.; Akinci, B.Objective: Our study aims to examine the acute effects of slow controlled breathing on fatigue, heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate during the recovery period after moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in young adults. Methods: Twenty-six volunteers between the ages of 18 and 30 were included in the study. Participants received the same aerobic exercise program. During the recovery period, the slow breathing group performed slow breathing with a respiratory frequency of 0.1 Hz (6 breath cycles/minute) combined with lower extremity static stretching exercises, while the control group only received a stretching exercise program. A modified Borg CR10 scale was used to evaluate perceived fatigue, a finger pulse oximeter was used for heart rate, and a digital sphygmomanometer was used for blood pressure. Participants were evaluated 5 times: at the beginning of the study, at the end of the aerobic exercise program (the 0th minute of recovery), 3rd minute of recovery, 6th minute of recovery, and 12th minute of recovery. Results: At the end of the study, no significant differences were found between the groups for any parameter at each time point (P > .050). There were statistically significant time-dependent differences within groups in terms of respiratory rate (slow breathing group P= .018, control group P > .001), fatigue (slow breathing group P ≤ .001, control group P < .001), and heart rate (slow breathing group P= .001, control group P= .017). There was no statistically significant time-dependent difference within groups for systolic or diastolic blood pressure (P > .050). Conclusion: The results of this study showed that slow controlled breathing combined with stretching or stretching alone applied in the recovery phase had similar acute effects on respiratory rate, heart rate, and fatigue but not on systolic and diastolic blood pressure. © 2023 AVES.
