- The study compared aerobic exercise, resistance training, and mind-body exercise for fibromyalgia management.
- Mind-body exercise showed significant improvements in pain, fatigue, and walking distance (6MWT).
- Combined aerobic and mind-body exercises were effective for reducing fatigue and pain.
- Aerobic exercise alone improved fatigue but had a negative effect on 6MWT performance.
- Resistance training significantly reduced pain, but combined aerobic and resistance exercise did not show significant 6MWT changes.
- Exercise interventions are recommended as effective nonpharmacological strategies for fibromyalgia.
