5. Study Description
Brief Summary
The objectives of this study are to test if hypoxia in muscle tissue is an important factor contributing to clinical symptoms in chronic rheumatic muscle inflammation and to evaluate if a 12 week endurance exercise program will improve muscle tissue hypoxia and disability in patients with chronic rheumatic muscle inflammation.
