Physical Activity in Patients With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus - Full Text View

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to check the improvement in quality of life in patients with systemic lupus incorporated into a routine of physical activity.

Randomized controlled blinded trial, 63 patients aged 42.9 ± 14.4 and diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) according to the criteria of the College American Rheumatology, 1997. After randomization patients were allocated into 3 groups, control group (CG) (n = 21), training cardiovascular (CT) (n = 20), resistance training (RT) (n = 22), performing 12 weeks of intervention with a frequency of three times weeks and were evaluated at two different times (T0 and T12). As primary outcome quality of life was assessed by the inventory Generic Assessment of quality of life by the Medical Outcomes Study 36 -- Healthy ItemShort Form Survey (SF36) and as secondary outcomes functional capacity evaluation of pain symptoms (visual scale analogue pain [VAS]), intensity of symptoms of depression (Beck Depression Inventory [BDI]), index of disease activity (Systemic Lupus Disease Activity Inventory Erythmatodud [SLEDAI]), capacity aerobic (walking test of 12 minutes [T12]), subjective perception effort (subjective scale of Borg [Borg]), limb muscle strength lower (analog dynamometer [strength]), electrical activity member lower (surface electromyography [EMG]), amount of products (inventory amount of Medicines).

Arms	Assigned Interventions
No Intervention: Group Control
Experimental: Endurance	Other: Physical Activity: Endurance exercise training (ET) The experimental group of resistance training will carry out the training with 8 kinds of training session with 12 reps with that load will vary according to the 1 RM test. The composition of the training session is 10 minutes of heating and stretching, 40 minutes of cardiovascular training and 10 minutes of cooling.
Experimental: Cardiovascular	Other: Physical Activity: Cardio training (CT) The experimental group of resistance training will carry out the training with 8 kinds of training session with 12 reps with that load will vary according to the 1 RM test. The composition of the training session is 10 minutes of heating and stretching, 40 minutes of cardiovascular training and 10 minutes of cooling.
