Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| o evaluate peak power output (PPO), mean power output (MPO), and fatigue index (FI) obtained from the Wingate Test (WAnT) performed on upper and lower limb cycle ergometers (Cefise®, Brazil).The results will be expressed in watts (W) and normalized by body weight (W/kg) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To analyze the relationship between PWV and muscle performance parameters (PPO, MPO, and FI) using multiple regression adjusted for muscle mass, age, blood pressure, and hydration status | — |
