|---|---|
| PRESENTATION OF EXPECTED SHAPE: It is expected that after the application of the exergaments intervention a reduction of the median frequency of electromyography will occur. SHAPE ANALYSIS METHOD: Evaluation of the median frequency of the surface electromyography signal of the anterior tibial muscles, medial and lateral gastrocnemius of both lower limbs by means of the Trigno 8 Delsys apparatus, asting 120 seconds evaluated at moments 0 will be performed; 10º; 20th session. ;EXPECTED SHAPE PRESENTATION: It is expected that after the application of the exergaments intervention, there will be an increase in the isometric strength values of the leg muscles. SHAPE ANALYSIS METHOD: Evaluation of the fatigue muscles for a level at 80% of maximum voluntary isometric contraction of the anterior tibial, medial and lateral gastrocnemius of the both lowers limbs by EMG System do Brasil apparatus associated to a load cell, ic contraction will be performed at 80% of the maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the anterior tibial, medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscles of both lower limbs lasting 120 seconds evaluated at 0; After the 10th session and after the 20th session. | — |

|---|---|
| EXPECTED SHAPE PRESENTATION: It is expected that after the application of the exergaments intervention a reduction in the reported fatigue values will occur. DISTURBANCE ANALYSIS METHOD: Evaluation of the fatigue reported will be performed through the application of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue questionnaire. PRESENTATION OF THE PARAMETERS FOR ANALYSIS OF THE SHAPE: will be conducted in the form of an interview the application of the questionnaire at moments 0; After 10th and after the 20th session.;EXPECTED SHAPE PRESENTATION: It is expected that after the intervention by exergames the orthostatic balance improves. METHOD OF ANALYSIS OF THE SHAPE: Evaluation of the static balance by means of the stabilometric variables will be carried out by means of the Footwork baraopodometer. PRESENTATION OF THE PARAMETERS FOR ANALYSIS OF THE SHAPE: two analyzes will be carried out in orthostatism with the individual on the platform with eyes open, feet equidistant and looking at the horizon. The same procedure will be performed with eyes closed, and with sound muffler. The duration of each collection will be 30s. | — |
