Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Improvement in exercise capacity, assessed by means of the 6-minute step test (6MW), test where the participant must ascend and descend with a 2-step step, maintaining his normal rhythm for 6 minutes, and the number of repetitions will be recorded at the beginning and at the end of the study and considered for analysis. An increase of at least 15% in the number of replicates will be considered improvement. | — |

| Expected outcome 2: Improvement of the speed of the March, evaluated through the Test of 4 meters, test where the participant must walk a distance of 4 meters, as fast as possible, and gait speed will be recorded at the beginning and at the end of the study and considered for analysis. An increase of at least 20% of walking speed will be considered improvement.;Expected outcome 3: Strength improvement of Lower limbs, assessed by Sit to Test for 1 minute, test where the participant should sit and stand-up from a chair for 30s, and the number of repetitions will be recorded at the beginning and end of the study and considered for analysis. An increase of at least 10% in the total number of times that patient sat and stood-up from the chair will be considered an improvement in strength.;Expected outcome 4: Reduction of dyspnea, assessed by the Medical Research Council (MRC), validated for the Portuguese language of Brazil, where the participant must choose one of the 5 activities listed according to their level of dyspnea, that will be recorded at the beginning and at the end of the study and considered for analysis. Reduction of dyspnoea will be considered when the participant reports at least a decrease of 1 score (example of 4 to 3) on the scale.;Expected outcome 5: Reduction of the fatigue sensation, evaluated through the translated and validated version for the Portuguese language of Brazil by Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), evaluated through the translated and validated version for the Portuguese language of Brazil's Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS-BR), which is a self-report scale that describes the perception of fatigue in relation to daily living activities in the last two weeks, where the participant should choose in a score ranging from 0 (no fatigue) and 7 (too much fatigue), which will be recorded at the beginning and at the end of the study and considered for analysis.;Expected outcome 6: Improvement of health-related quality of life (HRQoL), where the pa | — |
