Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Comparison between the mean core temperature reduction of the intervention group and the mean core temperature reduction of the control group, greater than or equal to 0.5° C, 30 minutes after the intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - Comparison between the mean temperature reductions of the intervention group and the control group over time: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 minutes in relation to initial temperature, identifying the point where there was a difference greater than or equal to 0.5° C.;Comparison between the average temperature reduction of individuals with themselves when they received the intervention or not, in relation to the initial temperature: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes, identifying the point where there was a difference greater than or equal to 0.5° C.;Comparison between groups for thermal comfort scale evaluation. ;Evaluate possible complications of cryotherapy. ;Descriptive analysis of circulating liquid temperature measurements. ;Descriptive analysis of ambient temperature measurements. ;Descriptive analysis of axillary temperature measurements. ;Descriptive analysis of the time between the end of the exercise and the beginning of the intervention. ;Descriptive analysis of the characteristics of the research subjects. ;Descriptive analysis of the patient's heart rate. | — |
