Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Expected outcome 1: It is expected that the individuals in the intervention group will improve the aerobic capacity assessed by VO2 (mL.kg-1.min-1) in the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX).;Outcome 1: both groups improved VO2 (mL.kg-1.min-1) during CPX. However, only the WB-EMS group achieved greater performance, reflected by a longer test time, greater walking distance, a better behavior of the blood pressure, and less leg fatigue at exercise recovery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The intervention group is expected to improve body composition (lean mass and fat mass) assessed by bioimpedance and decrease neck, waist, and hip circumference.;Outcome 1: There was no significant difference between groups. Both groups decreased the fat and lean mass and the circumference measurements of the neck, waist, and hips.;Expected outcome 2: The intervention group is expected to improve sleep quality, as assessed by the Pittsburgh questionnaire, and the level of anxiety, as assessed by the Beck Anxiety Inventory.;Outcome 2: There was no difference between groups. Both groups improved the scores on the sleep quality questionnaire and on Beck's anxiety inventory. However, only the Sham group showed significant improvement.
