It's also suggested that some people are more likely to develop fibromyalgia because of genes inherited from their parents. The exact cause of fibromyalgia is unknown, but it's thought to be related to abnormal levels of certain chemicals in the brain and changes in the way the central nervous system (the brain, spinal cord and nerves) processes pain messages carried around the body. In particular, exercise has a number of important benefits for people with fibromyalgia, including helping to reduce pain. talking therapies, such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).lifestyle changes, such as exercise programmes and relaxation techniques.How fibromyalgia is treatedĪlthough there's currently no cure for fibromyalgia, there are treatments to help relieve some of the symptoms and make the condition easier to live with. Treatment can ease some of the symptoms, although they're unlikely to disappear completely. See a GP if you think you have fibromyalgia. The symptoms of fibromyalgia are changeable – for example, they can sometimes suddenly improve or get worse. feelings of frustration, worry or low mood.irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a digestive condition that causes stomach pain and bloating.problems with mental processes (known as "fibro-fog"), such as difficulty concentrating or remembering things.difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep, which can make you feel very tired (fatigue).Symptoms of fibromyalgiaĪs well as widespread pain, other symptoms of fibromyalgia include: Independent Expert Witness in the 2019 case at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) of Caster Semenya vs.Fibromyalgia, also called fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), is a long-term condition that causes pain all over the body.Fellow of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES) and co-author of two BASES Expert Statements regarding female sport category eligibility of (1) transwomen and (2) athletes with differences in sex development (DSDs).Current research grant funding includes the International Olympic Committee (IOC) regarding the effects of lowering testosterone on physical performance in transwomen.was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine at 23:30 hours UK Time Tuesday 4 October 2022. ‘ Cardiopulmonary capacity and muscle strength in transgender women on long-term gender-affirming hormone therapy: a cross-sectional study ’ by Leonardo Azevedo Mobilia Alvares et al. Studies of well-trained athletes before and during their treatment, using tests that are more accurate and more relevant to competitive sport, are required to better inform sport eligibility policies.” transwomen performance generally between that of cisgender men and women, supports studies using shorter periods of hormone treatment – therefore, this new evidence doesn’t support the eligibility of transwomen for the female categories of most sports. Nevertheless, the pattern of results, i.e. “Strong points of the study are the transwomen had received hormone treatment for several years, and the assessment of cardiovascular fitness (VO2peak), but weak aspects of the study are tests of muscle strength and body composition that could be done better, the cross-sectional study design, and (if trying to inform policy) studying non-athletes. Prof Alun Williams, Professor of Sport and Exercise Genomics, Manchester Metropolitan University, said: And, it is possible that there are similar differences in muscle function are found among cis-gender athletes.” However, none of the participants were athletes. This suggests that there are likely to be small differences in how the muscles work between trans- and cis-gender women. They found differences in muscle development, strength and oxygen usage between the transwomen and cis-gender women. “This small yet well-designed study compared lots of measurements linked to physical performance in transwomen, cis-gender women and cis-gender men.
