Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The sample of this study will consist of individuals seen at the cardiovascular rehabilitation service of the Jenny Faria outpatient clinic at the Hospital das Clínicas of the Federal University of Minas Gerais. Participants will be recruited upon referral by the physician and/or the physiotherapy team. The study will include patients who are undergoing follow-up with the medical and/or physical therapy team of cardiovascular rehabilitation, aged over 18 years, who have the ability to understand and have a clinical status compatible with the performance of the procedures.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals who are under current nutritional monitoring and who do not demonstrate interest in participating in the study will not be included in the study.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find an increase in the quality of life score in the period of 3 months of cardiovascular rehabilitation, verified through the SF-36 questionnaire (Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short - Form Health Survey), from the observation of a variation of at least 1 point in each of the 8 domains in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find an increase in cardiopulmonary capacity in the period of 3 months of intervention, verified through the Shuttle Walking Test (SWT). It consists of walking on flat ground, repeatedly covering a distance of 10 meters, around a marking of two cones that are separated by a distance of 9 meters. The single acoustic sounding indicates the time in which the individual must travel the predetermined distance, reach the cone and change direction, returning to the other cone, while the triple acoustic signaling indicates the need to increase speed to cover the distance between the cones. Every minute, the time between the acoustic signals is shortened in such a way that the patient must increase the walking speed to reach the cone at the indicated time. The test comes to an end when the individual is unable to reach the cone twice in a row or when he/she wants to interrupt the test due to symptoms triggered by increasing walking speed. The increase in functional capacity will be verified from a variation to more than at least 1 meter/increment in heart rate and 5 meters in pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
