Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate heart rate variability by means of a polar H10 belt. It is expected to observe the cardiac autonomic behavior after an acute stimulation of the vagus nerve in the auricular branch.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To verify age, body mass index and schooling through a semi-structured questionnaire. Check the level of physical activity through a short IPAQ questionnaire. Check performance through a six-minute walk test.—
