| The main outcome of this study is related to the positive effects on muscle strength (sit and lift, manual grip), speed (10-meter walk), and dynamic balance (TIMED UP AND GO) after 8 weeks in the physical training group with size of moderate effect when compared before and after intervention. We also expect the physical training group to have a positive change on SDNN, RMSSD, NN50, PNN50 (time domain), LF and LF / HF and HF (frequency domain) indices determined by autonomic assessment (heart rate variability) after 8 weeks with moderate effect size when compared before and after intervention. We expect to find positive changes in hemodynamic parameters (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure) after 8 weeks in the physical training group with moderate effect size when compared before and after intervention. In addition, we expect the physical training group to have benefits in inflammatory parameters (measurement of inflammatory cytokines) and metabolic parameters (blood glucose, lipids and oxidative stress) through blood collection after 8 weeks with moderate effect size when compared pre- and post-intervention. | — |
