Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Brachial blood pressure: Measurement performed in millimeters of mercury (mmHg), for 10 minutes pre-intervention and for 40 minutes after the intervention, in the laboratory, using photoplethysmography (Finometer, Finapress TM). And for 24 hours after the intervention through ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (Spacelabs TM). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Heart rate variability: laboratory measurement performed in milliseconds, for 10 minutes before the intervention, during the entire intervention and for 40 minutes after the intervention (V800, Polar TM). Measurement performed for 24 hours after the intervention, by Holter recorder (CardioLight, Cardios TM).;Ventilatory exchange: Performed by indirect calorimetry for 10 minutes before the intervention, during the entire intervention and for 40 minutes after the intervention, measuring oxygen consumption, carbon dioxide production and ventilation in liters per minute.;Arterial function: Performed using piezoelectric transducers before and 40 minutes after the intervention, measuring the pulse wave velocity (meters per second), arterial compliance (10 to power of six centimeters to the power of 5 per dyna) and the reflection index of the pulse wave (percentage).;Affectivity: Measured by scales that evaluate pleasure (Feeling Scale: scores between -5 and +5) and arousal (Felt Arousal Scale - scores between 1 and 6) before and after the intervention. | — |
