Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Cognition improvement, assessed through electroencephalogram and stroop test before and after acute intervention, by analyzing latency, amplitude and reaction time;Expected outcome 2: Autonomic adaptation, assessed by heart rate variability through the polar, before and after acute intervention;Expected outcome 3: Improvement of motor function, assessed through maximum voluntary contraction by the dynamometer and muscle activity by recording the electromyography, before and after the acute intervention | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Better satisfaction in performing the intervention, assessed by the pleasure of performing this type of acute intervention through the feeling scale;Expected outcome 2: Assess the safety of the intervention by completing it, without the patient having any adverse effects | — |
