Chronic inflammation is a common feature shared by several autoimmune rheumatic diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, systemic sclerosis, and ankylosing spondylitis. Therefore, blocking or reducing inflammation is one of the major treatment strategies in these diseases. In this context, exercise training has emerged as a potential therapeutic tool in counteracting systemic inflammation, thereby leading to better clinical outcomes. The aims of this review are i) to provide a summary of the clinical effects of exercise training in selected autoimmune rheumatic diseases; and ii) to discuss the potential anti-inflammatory role of exercise training in autoimmune rheumatic diseases, stressing the gaps in literature and the clinical and scientific perspectives in the field.
慢性炎症是几种自身免疫性风湿病（如类风湿关节炎、系统性红斑狼疮、特发性炎性肌病、系统性硬化症和强直性脊柱炎）的共同特征。因此，阻断或减少炎症是这些疾病的主要治疗策略之一。在这种情况下，运动训练已成为对抗全身炎症的一种潜在治疗手段，从而带来更好的临床结果。本综述的目的是：i）总结运动训练对某些自身免疫性风湿病的临床效果；ii）讨论运动训练在自身免疫性风湿病中的潜在抗炎作用，强调文献中的空白以及该领域的临床和科学观点。
