The results of the study from baseline to post-exercise showed statistical significance was achieved for all FIQ domains except work missed, job ability, fatigue, and depression; however, they all showed positive clinical improvement of at least 20%. As for changes in health-related quality of life, all domains showed improvement either statistically or clinically; in addition, weight loss was observed. For the short form-36, five of eight domains achieved statistical significance with some improvement in all eight. The researchers considered their study an overall success with a few exceptions. Limitations of the study include its small sample size, and the high number of participants that did not complete the study. The post-test survey was sent through the mail, so without supervision during survey completion, nine of the surveys were sent back incomplete. The researchers also felt that some of the answers given by participants may have been motivated by a desire to please the investigators. Finally, the study was limited because it was a single group study.
