摘要
目的:一项随机对照试验,探讨6个月自主节奏水上运动干预对肌痛性脑脊髓炎/慢性疲劳综合征(ME/CFS)患者身体功能、症状和社会心理指标的影响。方法:32名确诊为ME/CFS的患者(55.0±13.9岁)被随机分为干预组(INT, n = 17)或对照组(CON, n = 15),进行为期6个月的试验,每周进行两次20分钟的自定节奏水上运动和伸展运动。干预前和干预后的结果包括生理测量、6分钟步行测试、手握力量、坐立、阿普利肩部测试、坐伸测试、感知运动、疲劳(FACIT)、焦虑/抑郁(HADS)问卷、疲劳和疼痛评分(VAS 0-10量表)。结果:INT组显著增加步行测试距离(13.7%,P)。结论:自定节奏、中低强度的水上运动改善了步行距离、下肢力量、疲劳、抑郁和呼气峰流量,但没有加重ME/CFS症状。这种低强度的身体活动模式可能会带来心理健康和身体上的好处,前提是活动是在病人的能量限制范围内自行进行的。试验注册号:澳大利亚和新西兰临床试验注册中心ANZCTRN12618001683224。
Physical function and psychosocial outcomes after a 6-month self-paced aquatic exercise program for individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome.
Purpose: A randomized-controlled trial to investigate the efficacy of a 6-month self-paced aquatic exercise intervention on physical function, symptoms and psychosocial measures in individuals with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
Methods: Thirty-two individuals diagnosed with ME/CFS (55.0 ± 13.9 yr) were randomized into an intervention group (INT, n = 17) or control group (CON, n = 15) for a 6-month trial of two 20-min sessions per week of self-paced aquatic movements and stretches. Pre- and post-intervention outcomes included physiological measures, 6-min walk test, hand-grip strength, Sit-to-Stand, Apley's shoulder test, Sit-Reach test, perceived exertion, fatigue (FACIT), anxiety/depression (HADS) questionnaires, and tiredness and pain scores (VAS 0-10 scale).
Results: The INT group significantly increased walk test distance (13.7%, P < 0.001), Sit-to-Stand scores (33.7%, P < 0.001) and peak expiratory pulmonary flow (12.9%, P = 0.028) post-intervention. Fatigue (29.5%, P = 0.005), depression (21.7%, P = 0.010), combined anxiety/depression scores (16.9%, P = 0.047) and resting diastolic blood pressure (4.8%, P < 0.001) also significantly improved for the INT group. Sit-Reach scores were significantly lower for the INT group compared to CON post-intervention (- 4.0 ± 10.4 vs + 4.3 ± 10.7 cm, P = 0.034). There were no adverse events or worsening of symptoms during the trial.
Conclusions: Self-paced, low-moderate-intensity aquatic exercise improved walk distance, lower limb strength, fatigue, depression and peak expiratory flow without worsening ME/CFS symptoms. This mode of low-intensity physical activity may confer mental health and physical benefits provided the activity is self-paced and within patient energy limits.

期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Applied Physiology (EJAP) aims to promote mechanistic advances in human integrative and translational physiology. Physiology is viewed broadly, having overlapping context with related disciplines such as biomechanics, biochemistry, endocrinology, ergonomics, immunology, motor control, and nutrition. EJAP welcomes studies dealing with physical exercise, training and performance. Studies addressing physiological mechanisms are preferred over descriptive studies. Papers dealing with animal models or pathophysiological conditions are not excluded from consideration, but must be clearly relevant to human physiology.
