Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of cardiorespiratory function: measured by heart rate (measured by heart monitor) and by pulmonary function (through inspiratory and expiratory pressure, frequency, spirometry and manuvacometry), with expected effect of 0.6 points for each outcome. Data will be collected 2 weeks before and 1 week after the intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Improvement of macrocirculation: assessed by carotid doppler. Improvement of the microcirculation, evaluated by maximum and resting blood flows, using the Laser Doppler flowmetry technique (LDF) with the VMS-LDF® device (Moor Instruments, UK) with dual flow channel. Nutritional status: assessed by body mass index, determined by weight ratio divided by the square of height. Dyslipidemia: evaluated through biochemical markers for total cholesterol and fractions, and triglycerides, determined by colorimetric technique. Blood pressure: measured by tensiometer. For all parameters, the expected effect is 0.6 points. Data collected 2 weeks before and 1 week after the intervention. | — |
