Investigating the lower extremity-related anaerobic exercise capacity and functional status in adult patients with familial Mediterranean fever.

Objectives: No studies examined the lower extremity-related anaerobic exercise capacity or functional status in adult patients with FMF.

Methods: Twenty-four patients with FMF (12 males) and 24 age-sex-matched healthy controls (13 males) were included in the study. Lower extremity-related anaerobic exercise capacity was assessed by using Wingate Anaerobic Test.
