Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Increased rates of rMSSD and SDNN after intervention with body awareness therapy, verified by analyzing the heart rate variability, captured by Polar S810i, based on comparison of the values of the indexes in the pre and post-intervention moments, and before and after rest, for the control group.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluation levels of anxiety, depression and stress, verified by questionnaires analysis , with values greater than 9 to possible anxiety and / or depression in Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and for symptoms of stress, will be considered score equal or above 7 in stage I, equal or above 4 in phase II, and equal or above 9 in stage III in Inventory of Symptoms of Stress - Lipp.
