Article Synopsis
- Physical inactivity is linked to a higher prevalence and severity of pain among Spanish adults, with inactive individuals experiencing significantly more pain compared to those who engage in physical activity.
- An analysis of data from European Health Surveys indicated that increased physical activity levels reduced the likelihood and intensity of pain, as well as the usage of pain medications.
- Key risk factors for pain included being a woman, having low social class, obesity, and older age, which further emphasized the impact of physical activity on pain management.
(1) Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome marked by chronic widespread pain, fatigue, sleep issues, and other symptoms. Interventions like physical exercise can potentially enhance physical function in individuals with FM. This study aimed to assess physical function, perceived physical fitness, balance confidence, and fear of falling in women with FM based on their levels of pain, depression, fatigue, and sleep problems.

- The Global Matrix 4.0 provides an extensive overview of physical activity levels among children and adolescents aged 5-17 worldwide, highlighting the disparities and influences affecting their activity
- The study involved 57 teams grading 10 physical activity indicators, revealing that overall physical activity received a low average grade of D, while school and community environments scored higher at C+
- The report emphasizes the urgent need for international strategies and policies to address the concerning levels of physical inactivity, especially in light of challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and other global issues.
