The purpose of this study is verify the effects of a 8 weeks strength training, on balance, neuromuscular performance and symptomatology of fibromyalgia.
Thirty participants will be recruited. Volunteers will be randomly assigned to the control group or experimental group. Before the training period, symptoms, balance and neuromuscular performance will be assessed. Participants in the experimental group will perform strength training twice a week (50 min each) for eight weeks. Then, four weeks of detraining will be completed.

Fibromyalgia impact questionnaire
Questionnaire to ccess information on the functional capacity and health status of individuals with fibromyalgia. Composed of 20 questions. , the values vary from 0 to 100, in which the higher the value, the greater the impact of fibromyalgia.
Time frame: Baseline, week 9, week 12

Pain intensity
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The scoring range will be from 0 to 100, in which the higher the value, the greater the intensity. During non-presencial days, participants will respond daily the intensity with a cell phone application developed for this purpose.
Time frame: baseline and everyday until the week 12
Anxiety
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The scoring range will be from 0 to 100, in which the higher the value, the greater the intensity. During non-presencial days, participants will respond daily the intensity with a cell phone application developed for this purpose.
Time frame: baseline and everyday until the week 12
Quality of sleep
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The scoring range will be from 0 to 100, in which the higher the value, the greater the intensity. During non-presencial days, participants will respond daily the intensity with a cell phone application developed for this purpose.
Time frame: baseline and everyday until the week 12
Fatigue
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The scoring range will be from 0 to 100, in which the higher the value, the greater the intensity. During non-presencial days, participants will respond daily the intensity with a cell phone application developed for this purpose.
Time frame: baseline and everyday until the week 12
Mood state
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). The scoring range will be from 0 to 100, in which the higher the value, the greater the intensity. During non-presencial days, participants will respond daily the intensity with a cell phone application developed for this purpose.
Time frame: baseline and everyday until the week 12
