Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Maintaining blood pressure levels in similar levels after aquatic aerobic exercise and comparing to rest, measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressure using a digital arm sphygmomanometer before the session (after 20 minutes at rest), immediately after the session in the pool, and at 10, 20 and 30 minutes after the end of the session – T0, T1, T2, T3, T4, respectively, also at rest. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Acute increase in heart rate in the experimental session right after leaving the pool, returning to baseline levels in the first minutes of resting on the ground. | — |
