Background. This original study aims to evaluate the effects of combining aerobic running and anaerobic Pilates exercises to reduce fatigue and improve cardiovascular, and muscular fitness, and enhance the quality of life (QoL) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.
Methods. A total of 19 SLE patients with index SLEDAI scores ≤ 4 were randomly assigned into an intervention group (n=10), undertaking the combined exercise program, and a control group (n = 9), undertaking normal activities of daily living (ADL) only. The combined exercise program lasted 8 weeks and consisted of 3, one-hour weekly sessions. In both groups, functional capacity, cardiovascular fitness, muscle endurance capacity, and QoL were assessed before and following the programmed activity or ADL only. The data were analyzed by SPSS18 software at significance level of 0.05.
Results. The results confirm that this combined exercise program provides significant benefits over ADL concerning pre and post-test difference scores for functional capacity (VO2peak 1.86 ± 1.45 vs. -0.95 ± 1.43 ml/min/kg, p<0.01). Significant benefits were also observed for number of sit-ups achieved (11.30 ± 9.91 vs. 0.5 ± 1.06, p<0.01), sit and reach improvements (6.92 ± 5.09 vs. 0.5 ± 0.92 cm, p<0.05), subjective fatigue (-3.38 ± 5.59 vs. 1.75±1.48, p<0.05) and regarding the overall mean of summed QoL subscales scores (10.80 ± 4.90 vs. 0.06 ± 1.56).
Discussion. These results demonstrate that combining aerobic and anaerobic exercises can not only mitigate subjective fatigue but also significantly improve functional capacity, myocardial metabolism, muscular endurance, flexibility, and QoL in SLE patients.
