OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to examine the association between physical fitness and depressive symptoms in women with fibromyalgia (FM). We also assessed whether different fitness components present independent relationships with depressive symptoms. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SETTING University facilities and FM associations. SUBJECTS Four hundred and forty-four patients with FM according to the 1990 American College of Rheumatology criteria. METHODS Depressive symptoms were…

Independent and joint associations of physical activity and fitness with fibromyalgia symptoms and severity: The al-Ándalus project
TLDR
PA and PF are independently associated with pain, fatigue and the overall impact of fibromyalgia in women, and although PF presented greater associations with symptoms, the results suggest that both being physically active and keep adequate fitness levels might be convenient for Fibromyalgia women.
Fibromyalgia status and depressive symptoms are linked to body mass index and physical performance in mid to late life.
TLDR
It is suggested that individuals with FM demonstrate disproportionately higher depressive symptoms compared to non-FM controls, which may diminish physical performance after accounting for age and symptom severity, and this study supports FM status and depressive symptoms as important considerations when evaluating the health and disability risk of aging adults.
Lower Fatigue in Fit and Positive Women with Fibromyalgia: The al-Ándalus Project.
TLDR
In women with fibromyalgia, positive affect was independently and consistently associated with all dimensions of fatigue, and the combination of higher levels of overall physical fitness and positive affect might serve as a buffer against general and physical fatigue in women with fibers.
Pain intensity and physical performance among individuals with fibromyalgia in mid-to-late life: The influence of depressive symptoms.
TLDR
This study investigated the mediating role of depressive symptoms among 147 middle-aged and older adults with FM in the relationship between pain intensity and 4 objective measures of physical performance and found findings support the evaluation of co-morbid depression in FM.
The Potential of Established Fitness Cut-off Points for Monitoring Women with Fibromyalgia: The al-Ándalus Project.
TLDR
Overall, the arm-curl and the 30-s chair stand tests presented the highest effect sizes in all symptoms, reinforcing the inclusion of fitness testing as a complementary tool for fibromyalgia diagnosis and monitoring.
Effect of supervised physical exercise on flexibility of fibromyalgia patients
TLDR
Six months intervention with supervised physical exercises may improve flexibility levels of fibromyalgia females, with significant improvement from beginning of intervention to completion.
Doctor, ask your perimenopausal patient about her physical fitness; association of self-reported physical fitness with cardiometabolic and mental health in perimenopausal women: the FLAMENCO project.
TLDR
Self-reported PF was associated with better cardiometabolic and mental health in perimenopausal women and the IFIS might be proposed as an inexpensive, quick, and easy tool in clinical settings.
The discordance between subjectively and objectively measured physical function in women with fibromyalgia: association with catastrophizing and self-efficacy cognitions. The al-Ándalus project
TLDR
Subjective physical function is more impaired than objective physical function in fibromyalgia, yet both are markedly impaired, and high catastrophizing may promote a feeling of reduced ability to do meaningful activities of daily living that people with fibromy arthritis are actually able to.
Can psychological factors be associated with the severity of pain and disability in patients with fibromyalgia? A cross-sectional study
TLDR
There are weak associations that are not clinically relevant between depression and pain severity, and between kinesiophobia and disability severity, however, other psychological factors are not associated with the severity of pain or disability.
Cardiorespiratory fitness and age-related arterial stiffness in lupus
TLDR
It is suggested that cardiorespiratory fitness attenuates the age-related arterial stiffening in women with systemic lupus erythematosus and might thus contribute to the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in this population.

A comparison of women with fibromyalgia syndrome to criterion fitness standards: a pilot study.
TLDR
High proportions of women with FMS do not meet fitness standards recommended for maintaining physical independence in late life, indicating a risk for disability.
Fitness testing in the fibromyalgia diagnosis: the al-Ándalus project.
TLDR
The arm curl, 30-s chair stand, and handgrip strength tests powerfully discriminated women with fibromyalgia from healthy women, especially in primary care settings.
Positive associations between physical and cognitive performance measures in fibromyalgia.
Association of cardiorespiratory fitness with pressure pain sensitivity and clinical pain in women with fibromyalgia
TLDR
It is suggested that CRF is associated with pressure pain sensitivity but not with clinical pain in women with FM, and further longitudinal and intervention studies are needed to determine whether CRF could be involved in some mechanisms of pain processing.
Reliability and feasibility of physical fitness tests in female fibromyalgia patients.
TLDR
The reliability of the physical fitness tests examined is acceptable for female fibromyalgia patients and the feasibility of the tests ranged from 89% in the arm curl test to 100%" in the handgrip strength test.
Aerobic fitness effects in fibromyalgia.
TLDR
It is confirmed that aerobic exercise is beneficial to patients with FM, but the cardiorespiratory fitness gain is not related to improvement of FM symptoms.
Association of different levels of depressive symptoms with symptomatology, overall disease severity, and quality of life in women with fibromyalgia
TLDR
The results extend current knowledge on the association of signs of depression with FM severity and quality of life in women with FM, and suggest that severity of depressive symptoms could potentially be a prognostic factor to be considered in future prospective intervention studies.

Independent and combined association of overall physical fitness and subjective well-being with fibromyalgia severity: the al-Ándalus project
TLDR
The results suggest that higher levels of overall physical fitness and subjective well-being are independently associated with lower fibromyalgia severity.
