Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate lower limb muscle strength Verified through Biodex System 4 PRO isokinetic dynamometer (BiodexTM Medical Systems Inc., Shirley, NY), used with individuals with Parkinson's disease (OBESO et al., 2002), will be used. The isokinetic strength protocol will involve the knee extensors and flexors with the dominant limb, the range of motion will vary from 0 ° to 90 °. | — |

|---|---|
| Assess cardiorespiratory fitness Verified by ergospirometry, it will be used to conduct the submaximal exercise test where it will assess cardiorespiratory fitness, indicated for populations with Parkinson's disease (OLIVEIRA et al., 2013). Exhaled gases and flow volume will be collected during the test and analyzed by calibrated metabolic system (Quark CPET Ergo, Cosmed, Rome, Italy) to provide oxygen absorption measurements. The test will be terminated at the predetermined value.;Assess the balance. Verified through the Mini-BESTest test translated and validated in Brazil, it is a 14-item test that focuses on dynamic balance, specifically early transitions, postural responses, sensory orientation, and dynamic gait. Its application takes 10 to 15 minutes and allows you to quickly and reliably track balance changes. Each item is scored from (0-2); A score of 0 indicates that a person is unable to perform the task while a score of 2 is normal. The best score is the maximum amount of points, 28 (MAIA et al., 2013).;Assess depressive symptoms and anxiety Verified through Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventory. It contains 21 objective multiple choice questions related to depressive symptoms such as hopelessness, irritation, cognition, guilt and feelings of punishment, as well as physical symptoms such as fatigue, weight loss and sexual interest. It is composed of 21 self-reported questions that highlight somatic, affective and cognitive signs of anxiety symptoms. | — |
