Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome: Reduction of reaction time, evaluated by a computer test, based on the observation of variation of at least 5% in time (milliseconds), in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in functional mobility, verified by the timed up and go test, from the observation of variation of at least 5% in the execution time (seconds), in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in lower limb muscle strength, verified by the sit and stand test, from the observation of variation of at least 5% in the number of executions, in 30 seconds, in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in aerobic endurance, verified by the 6-minute walk test, from the observation of variation of at least 5% in the distance performed, in pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in postural stability, evaluated by a force platform, from the observation of variation of at least 5% in the displacement of the pressure center, in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement in blood pressure measurements obtained through the Finometer equipment, based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in systolic and diastolic pressure, in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Expected outcome: Improvement of the general quality of life evaluated using the WHOQOL-Bref instrument, based on the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the questionnaire score, in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Observed outcome: Reduction of reaction time, evaluated by a computer test, based on the observation of variation of at least 5% in time (milliseconds), in the pre and post-intervention measurements. Observed outcome: Improvement in functional mobility, verified by the timed up and go test, from the observation of variation of at least 5% in the execution time (seconds), in the pre and post-intervention measurements.
