Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome to be measured is the strength of the respiratory muscles, ie maximal inspiratory pressure (Pimax) and maximal expiratory pressure (Pmax) measured by a manovacuometer staggered in cmH20;The functional capacity evaluated by the Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) will be conducted on a track 30 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, according to the standards of the American Thoracic Society (ATS, 2002). Two tests will be performed on the same day, with a 30-minute interval between them. The largest distance traveled (SD) for statistical analysis will be considered. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pulmonary function that will be assessed using spirometry or pulmonary function testing using a Vitalograph® Spirotrac 6800 spirometer with technical procedures, acceptability and reproducibility criteria performed according to the standards of the American Thoracic Society / European Respiratory Society;The evaluation of thoracic mobility will be performed using the cirtometry technique, whose purpose is to evaluate the thoracic mobility / expandability using a tape measure, staggered in centimeters (cm), which will be placed horizontally in three levels: axillary, xiphoid and abdominal. The measurements will be performed in orthostasis.;The Heart Rate Variability, evaluated by means of a Polar S810i (Polar Electro Oy, Kempele, Finland) telemetry system, will allow the acquisition of FC and iR-R data for later analysis of HRV. The recording will be performed in two conditions: 1.) At rest in the supine position, for a period of 10 minutes in spontaneous respiration; and 2.) During 4 minutes of maneuver of accentuation of respiratory sinus arrhythmia (M-ASR) where the volunteers will be oriented to maintain a respiratory cycle lasting 10 s - being 5 s of inspiration and 5 s of expiration, thus keeping the respiratory rhythm deep, between 5 to 6 cycles per min. Volunteers will monitor respiratory rate using both visual feedback, through a pointer clock, and verbal feedback provided by the evaluator. | — |
