It is expected to find a decrease in pain intensity in the muscle power training group (assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS), the McGill pain questionnaire and the Brief Pain Inventory), when compared to the control group.—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find in the muscle power training group an improvement in physical function (assessed by the 10-meter walking test, Time and Go (TUG), Sit and Stand Test, Stair Climb Test and Joint Range Measurement) , when compared to the control group.—
