Fibromyalgia is affects 1 to 3% of that total population of the
United States of America. The number may not sound like that is not a
massive amount of people, however, it has devastating effects on the
people who are suffering from the problems and those who interact/work
them on a daily basis. Another problem that is very similar or closely
related to the condition is called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. There is a
wide variety of people who affected by one or the other disease. It so
much like Fibromyalgia that people think that you can use the two terms
interchangeably. How much is 1 to 3% of the population? It is 18 million
people around the US who have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or have
Fibromyalgia. 18 million is a lot of people and the number makes it very
apparent as to why the problem is larger than we have ever imagined.
The conditions also seem to favor women over men
The two diseases are very likely to cause discomfort throughout the body this is especially true in the tendons and ligaments. The conditions also seem to take away a person's strength and endurance. People with these problems find it harder and harder to do things during their days. How much strength difference mean to people who do not have the condition and those people who do? The number is 35%. The diseases cause the muscular strength and endurance loss or it is a very big side effect that is caused by the lack of exercise and movement due to the pain of moving or exercising. People who have this conditions can find it very hard to move and painful to move. Pain is a very powerful demotivator when it comes to exercise compliance. Osteoporotic clients with Fibromyalgia may also have far less strength and muscular endurance when it relates to their lumbar region and their abdominals. Lack of movement also seems to affect their oxygen capacity because measurements of their chest expansions during breathing are smaller.
A person can increase their aerobic capacity and lessen their pain by adhering to an exercise program. A person should be careful in the beginning and not make the mistake of being too bold about their training program. A low-intensity exerciser has a higher chance of seeking with their program over time as opposed to those people who adopt high-intensity exercises at the beginning of their attempted exercise program. An exercise that does not take too much equipment is always smart because those types of exercise are available anytime a person has time available to them. A good example of such an exercise is walking. However, just because the exercise is a common thing that a person does during the day does not mean it is not without pain. Pain will be present and a person must overcome it to get the health benefits from the exercise. Only a person who pushes through the adversity of pain will get the favorable results of exercise. It can be extremely hard to not listen to the body when it is in pain. A person can become afraid that they are missing the subtle cues that a body is giving them that they are overloading the system. A person might convince himself or herself that the problem is new and the body is trying to warn them about the problem ahead of time. The difference in pain here is that a person must be able to tell if they experience more or less pain by varying their intensity while exercising. If they sustain the workout and the pain keeps getting worse and worse then they need to stop the exercise but it is highly likely that the injury is far greater than they think it.
Learning to manage the pain during exercise should have a carry-over effect in the person's life. They will learn to deal with the pain in a high-stress situation, and learn how to use those techniques in fewer strenuous activities.
Finally, heavy resistance training seems to have very positive effects on the conditions. A 21-week study showed that 13 older women found great improvement in strength and work capacity when they followed a vigorous workout program designed to raise their strength levels. The key to the program was the consistency of exercise. The training gave them a greater capacity to lift greater volumes of weights inside and outside of training. A nice side effect of the training was that it also seemed to have the ability to reduce pain in affected areas.
Inactivity and lack of movement/training are a problem for people trying to live with these diseases. It is not recommended to run off and start an exercise program right away. A medical professional should be consulted first. The medical professional needs to be careful and very exacting during their examination. The joints and their ability to exercise should be considered because any injury to the joints may cause a problem during the exercise program.
