The study evaluated the effects of aquatic therapy on respiratory muscle strength in individuals with fibromyalgia. It received a quasi-experimental quanti- qualitative approach and the sample was composed of women, some in middle age, with clinical diagnosis of fibromyalgia. A protocol of aquatic therapy was applied for 10 weeks. The FIQ, manovacuometry and spirometry were evaluated, which demonstrated significant and extremely relevant results for women, specially preparing them to avoid the aggravation of this problem after 60 years of age.
