The aim of this study was to compare the physical fitness and cardiac autonomic activity among women with moderate and severe fibromyal-gia (FM) and healthy women. This study included 35 women with FM (age: 46.2±8.9 years) and 17 healthy women (age: 44.3±9.9 years). Par-ticipants with FM were divided into moderate FM (n=15) and severe FM (n=20) according to the total score obtained in FM impact question-naire. The heart rate variability was monitored using a portable cardiac monitor with participants resting in supine position during 10 min. Thereafter, the participants performed the chair sit and reach test, the chair stand test, and the 6-min walk test to measure the lower-body flexibility, lower-body muscle strength, and cardiorespiratory fitness, respectively. The lower-body muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness were both reduced in moderate and severe FM compared to healthy women (P<0.01), with greater reduction in severe FM when compared to moderate FM (P<0.05). In addition, the parasympathetic indexes of heart rate variability were all similarly decreased in both moderate and severe FM, when compared to healthy women (P<0.05). The cardiac parasympathetic activity is similarly decreased in women with both moderate and severe FM in comparison to healthy women, despite a greater physical deconditioning in severe FM.
