Summary

The purpose of this sudy is to investigate the effects of a regular aerobic exercise on aerobic capacity, fatigue, depression, quality of life, perception of symptoms and disease activity in women with pSS.

Conditions

  • Sjogren's Syndrome

Interventions

OTHER

aerobic exercise

Each training session was preceded by a warm-up period, where patients were instructed to walk freely and slowly for 5 minutes, followed by 20 to 50 minutes of effective walking when they were instructed to maintain their paces to achieve the target heart rate and ending by a cold-up period for 5 minutes (similar to warm-up period). The exercise prescription was based on the heart rate at the anaerobic threshold determined at the initial assessment. The increment of intensity exercise was based on time: 30 in the first 2 weeks, adding 5 minutes per week until eighth week, completing 60 minutes, which remains until the end.
