Fibromyalgia is a chronic disease characterized by generalized skeletal muscle pain and the presence of mental disorders is common among patients. As there is no cure, several treatment alternatives have been investigated, including the practice of resistance training. Thus, the aim of the current study is to analyze the effects of resistance training on the mental health of patients with fibromyalgia. This is a systematic review of the literature that followed the recommendations of the PRISMA statement. The search for articles occurred in May 2020 in the databases PubMed, Embase, Science Direct, Web of Science, PEDro, and CINAHL, as well as Google Scholar for gray literature. The protocol was recorded in PROSPERO and assessment of quality was performed using the Cochrane tool. In total, 481 studies were found in the database searches, of which seven were included in the analysis. The only variables investigated in studies related to mental health were depression and anxiety. The results demonstrate that resistance training reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety in patients with fibromyalgia. It is concluded that resistance training is efficient to improve the mental health of patients with fibromyalgia, reducing depression and anxiety. The main limitation is that few variables related to mental health were analyzed. Key Points • Resistance training improves the mental health of patients with FM. • The most commonly studied variables related to mental health are depression and anxiety. • The study protocols are similar, starting with low-intensity training and gradually increasing the intensity.
纤维肌痛是一种慢性疾病，其特征为全身性骨骼肌肉疼痛，患者常伴有精神障碍。由于目前尚无治愈方法，因此已经研究了几种治疗选择，包括进行抗阻训练。因此，目前的研究旨在分析抗阻训练对纤维肌痛患者心理健康的影响。这是一项遵循 PRISMA 声明建议的文献系统评价。文章检索于 2020 年 5 月在 PubMed、Embase、Science Direct、Web of Science、PEDro 和 CINAHL 数据库以及 Google Scholar 上进行，以查找灰色文献。方案已在 PROSPERO 中记录，并使用 Cochrane 工具进行了质量评估。在数据库检索中总共找到了 481 项研究，其中 7 项被纳入分析。与心理健康相关的研究仅调查了抑郁和焦虑这两个变量。结果表明，抗阻训练可减轻纤维肌痛患者的抑郁和焦虑症状。由此得出结论，抗阻训练可有效改善纤维肌痛患者的心理健康，减轻抑郁和焦虑。主要的局限性在于，仅分析了少数与心理健康相关的变量。 关键点 • 抗阻训练可改善纤维肌痛患者的心理健康。 • 与心理健康相关的最常研究的变量是抑郁和焦虑。 • 研究方案相似，均从低强度训练开始，逐渐增加强度。
