Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Assess low back pain, as verified by the short version of the McGill Pain Questionnaire. The questionnaire presents 15 descriptions of pain and the participant must quantify this sensation by choosing between the options: none (0), mild (1), moderate (2) and severe (3). The higher the score, the greater the pain symptoms. This questionnaire is accompanied by a pain scale from 0 to 10 where 0 represents no pain and 10 represents severe pain. It is expected to find reduced values of pain perception after the training session | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluate blood pressure, systolic and diastolic, verified by an Omron brand portable digital blood pressure monitor. Data will be presented in mmHg. It is expected that blood pressure remains at adequate levels, and may be slightly elevated in the measurement immediately after the strength training and returning to values close to the initial values in the measurement 30 minutes after the training session;Evaluate the heart rate throughout the session, verified by a portable heart rate monitor (strap plus mobile app) from the Polar brand. Data will be presented in bpm. It is expected to observe slightly elevated values compared to rest and the control session, but within the normal range and compatible with the levels of subjective perceived exertion programmed for the training session;Evaluate the edema in the lower limbs, verified by the palpation technique, classifying the presence or absence of edema. Also, if present, classify as mild, moderate or severe. It is expected to find a reduction in the classification or absence of edema in the lower limbs after the training session;Evaluate enjoyment at the end of the session, verified by the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) questionnaire. The scale is composed of 18 items in a bipolar statement format (i.e. “I had fun”, versus “I didn't have fun”) that will be scored in a range that varies between the minimum value of "1" and the maximum value of "7". , where the central position "4" of the scale represents a response with no tendency for any of the inclinations. The results will be obtained through the sum of the answers. At the end of the strength training session, whether face-to-face or remote, high scores are expected for fun in the session;Evaluate Functional Disability, verified through two questionnaires. The first is the Oswestry Disability Index, which consists of 10 questions with six alternatives, whose value varies from 0 to 5, the first question assesses the intensity of pain and the other nin | — |
