Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Arterial hemodynamic function (heart rate, blood pressure, heart rate variability, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, central pressures, brachial artery flow-mediated dilation, and myointimal wall thickness of the right and left carotid arteries);Lower extremity venous hemodynamic function (clinical, perimetry and ultrasound evaluations);Cardiovascular and metabolic health parameters (diet, physical activity level, nicotine exposure, sleep quality, body mass index, blood lipids and blood glucose);Physical and functional capacity (flexibility, handgrip strength, lower limb strength, mobility and aerobic performance) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Redox state biomarkers (plasma malonaldehyde concentration, protein carbonylation, concentration of advanced oxidation protein products, plasma antioxidant capacity and activity of plasma antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase));Quality of life (WHOQOL-BREF and WHOQOL-OLD);Mood health markers (Brunel mood scale and Beck Depression Inventory) | — |
