|---|---|
| 10% improvement in the level of physical activity Habitual physical activity will be assessed by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ – brief version) (Matsudo et al., 2011) and so by GT3X or GT3X+ accelerometer (Actigraph - USA) and Actilife 6.10 software will be used to analysis. Each participant will be instructed to use the accelerometer for seven consecutive days, removing it only for sleeping, bathing or performing water activities. The device will be attached to an elastic belt and fixed in the right side of the hip. Data will be collected in a 30 Hz sample frequency and will be analyzed using 60-s epochs. Periods with consecutive values of zero (with 2-min of spike tolerance) for 60 min or longer will be interpreted as “accelerometer not worn” and excluded from the analysis. Physical activity data only will be included if the participant accumulate a minimum of 10 hours/day of recording for at least four days, including one weekend day. Data will be collected in four specifics moments: baseline, 9 months, 15 months, 21 months | — |
