Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction of the pain threshold of hypertensive individuals after cardiac rehabilitation, verified by the algometer with increment from 1 N/s to 10 N/s to avoid tissue damage, as a result of the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post-intervention. The pressure applied to the skin is interrupted when the individual vocally reports pain. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increased functional capacity of hypertensive individuals after cardiac rehabilitation, verified by the six-minute walk test (distance in meters), based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre and post-intervention measurements. | — |
