Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| An increase in effort tolerance is expected by the 6-minute step test with an increment of at least 20 steps, as well as a reduction in dyspnea and lower limbs fatigue, demonstrated by the lower score of the subjective BORG stress scale. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To compare whether the high intensity interval training is superior to continuous aerobic training in increasing tolerance verified by means of the 6-minute step test with an increment of at least 20 steps, as well as reduction of dyspnea and lower limbs fatigue, demonstrated by the lower score of the subjective BORG effort scale. | — |
