Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a reduction in the cardiovascular risk score after 6 weeks based on the analysis using the paired t-test method, comparing the results of the physical activity intervention group with the control group. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We expect to find an improvement in physical fitness measured by the increase in the distance covered in 12 minutes around a rectangle measuring 75.32 meters. The assessment will be done through the paired t-test, comparing the results of the physical activity intervention group with the control group. | — |
