Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: It is expected that kettlebell training will increase the maximum cardiorespiratory capacity of young women by 6%, using exercise ergospirometry on the treadmill as a direct method of evaluation, observing the values of maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max). Data collected one week before and 48 hours after kettlebell training intervention.;Expected outcome 2: It is expected that kettlebell training will increase the submaximal cardiorespiratory capacity of young women by 10 to 25%, using exercise ergospirometry on the treadmill as a direct evaluation method and observing the values of ventilatory thresholds 1 and 2 (LV1 and LV2 ). Data collected one week before and 48 hours after kettlebell training intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 3:It is expected that kettlebell training can increase the maximum muscular strength of the lower limbs of young women by 15%, using the maximum strength assessment method on the 45° leg press machine, observing the values of 1 repetition maximum (1RM). Data collected one week before and 48 hours after intervention with kettlebell training.;Expected outcome 4: Kettlebell training is expected to reduce blood pressure in sedentary young women by -1.8 mm/Hg (confidence limits -3.7 to -0.011]) for systolic blood pressure and -3.2 mm/Hg (confidence limit -4.5 a -2.0) in relation to diastolic, using digital electrocardiographic and non-invasive cardiovascular hemodynamic assessment as a method, by digital infrared photoplethysmography, observing systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. Data collected one week before and 48 hours after kettlebell training intervention.;Expected outcome 5: It is expected that kettlebell training can increase the maximum respiratory muscle strength of sedentary young women by values equal to or greater than 10%, using analogue manovacuometry scaled in -120 to +120 cmH2O as an evaluation method, observing the maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure values. Data collected one week before and 48 hours after kettlebell training intervention. | — |
