Abstract :A common symptom in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) patients is chronic ongoing pain. These pain are general muscle pain and can occur at certain points on the body. In addition to pain, physical effects such as fatigue, depression and insomnia that affect the person’s quality of life can also be observed. Thereforse, the patient’s quality of life decreases and difficulty in performing daily tasks begins. Exercise aims to increase people’s quality of life by reducing their pain and minimizing the physical effects that affect them. As the pain decreases, the patient begins to feel better psychosocially and his sleep pattern improves. Another effect of exercise is the increase in muscle strength. It can be seen that this increase makes it easier to do dialy tasks. Exercise planning can be made by taking into account the complaints of errors, needs in daily life socio-economic status and can be referred to the necessary specialists in this direction. The literature indicates that exercise may affect the quality of life in fibromyalgia patients. For this reason, directing fibromyalgia patients to exercise can help reduce their pain and minimize the physical effects that may occur.
