In this study, we aimed to analyze the effect of a low-intensity physical exercise (PE) program, combining endurance training and coordination, on psychological aspects (i.e., pain catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, stress), pain perception (i.e., pain acceptance, pressure pain threshold (PPT), and quality of life and physical conditioning (i.e., self-perceived functional capacity, endurance and functional capacity, power and velocity) in women with FM. For this purpose, a randomized controlled trial was carried out. Thirty-two women with FM were randomly allocated to a PE group (PEG, n = 16), performing an eight-week low-intensity PE program and a control group (CG, n = 16). Pain catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, stress, pain acceptance, PPT, quality of life, self-perceived functional capacity, endurance and functional capacity, power, and velocity were assessed before and after the intervention. We observed a significant improvement in all studied variables in the PEG after the intervention (p &lt; 0.05). In contrast, the CG showed no improvements in any variable, which further displayed poorer values for PPT (p &lt; 0.05). In conclusion, a low-intensity combined PE program, including endurance training and coordination, improves psychological variables, pain perception, quality of life, and physical conditioning in women with FM.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph17103634","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,22]],"date-time":"2020-05-22T10:18:18Z","timestamp":1590142698000},"page":"3634","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":115,"title":["Low-Intensity Physical Exercise Improves Pain Catastrophizing and Other Psychological and Physical Aspects in Women with Fibromyalgia: A Randomized Controlled Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Ruth","family":"Izquierdo-Alventosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Biomec\u00e1nica Cl\u00ednica (UBIC Research Group), Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, 46010 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5328-2692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta","family":"Ingl\u00e9s","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Freshage Research Group, Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica en Red Fragilidad y Envejecimiento Saludable (CIBERFES-ISCIII), Fundaci\u00f3n Investigaci\u00f3n del Hospital Cl\u00ednico Universitario de Valencia (INCLIVA), 46010 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Cort\u00e9s-Amador","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Biomec\u00e1nica Cl\u00ednica (UBIC Research Group), Department of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Physiotherapy, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, 46010 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1736-273X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lucia","family":"Gimeno-Mallench","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Freshage Research Group, Department of Physiology, Faculty of Medicine, Universitat de Val\u00e8ncia, Centro de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica en Red Fragilidad y Envejecimiento Saludable (CIBERFES-ISCIII), Fundaci\u00f3n Investigaci\u00f3n del Hospital Cl\u00ednico Universitario de Valencia (INCLIVA), 46010 Val\u00e8ncia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Javier","family":"Chirivella-Garrido","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Fundaci\u00f3n Fivan, Centro de Neurorehabilitaci\u00f3n, 46005 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juri","family":"Kropotov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"N.P.
