Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increase in endothelial function, verified by the measurement of vasodilatation mediated by the flow of the brachial artery (FMD) from the difference between basal diameter and hyperemia diameter in percentage. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Increase in cardiac modulation, assessed by increasing heart rate variability (HRV) and their variables, increse in mean RR (mean RR), standard deviation of the mean of all RR-R (STDRR), and square root mean squares of the differences between successive iR-Rs (rMSSD), low frequency indexes - BF and high frequency - AF, in standard units and BF / AF ratio. | — |
