Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Respiratory muscle strength measured in centimeters of water by pre- and post-intervention manovacuometry; ;Localized resistance of the lower limbs evaluated by the number of repetitions performed in the sit and stand test in one minute before and after the intervention;;Thoracic expandability measured by thoracic cirtometry by inspiratory and expiratory measures at the axillary, nipple and xiphoid levels by pre- and post-intervention .;Quality of life conducted through the short questionnaire, version in Portuguese, WHOQOL-Bref by pre- and post-intervention . This instrument consists of 26 questions divided into four domains (physical, psychological, social relations and the environment) and two general questions about quality of life.
