Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find a reduction in systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure of at least 2 mmHg, verified by the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure assessment method, based on the finding of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to an increase in muscle strength of at least 5% compared to the initial value is expected, as assessed by dynamometry;It is expected to an improvement in functional fitness, measured by specific physical tests, based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements;It is expected to an improvement in sleep quality, measured by accelerometry, is expected based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements;It is expected to a reduction in sympathetic autonomic activity, verified by electrocardiogram recordings, is expected, based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements;It is expected to a clinically relevant improvement in autonomic function is expected, changing the classification from “abnormal” to “borderline”, based on findings from three tests from the Ewing battery, measured pre- and post-intervention | — |
