"Fibromyalgia affects approximately 1% to 3% of the general population, limiting work capacity and social life. While some research has suggested that physical exercise can lower fatigue levels, little is known about the specific effects of resistance exercise and in particular on fatigue."

Source Reference: Ericsson A, et al "Resistance exercise improves physical fatigue in women with fibromyalgia: a randomized controlled trial" Arthritis Res Ther 2016; DOI: 10.1186/s13075-016-1073-3.
