Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find an improvement in parameters related to physical health, which are pain, spinal flexibility, rib cage expansion, peripheral muscle strength, ventilatory muscle strength, lung capacity and volumes, functional capacity and physical conditioning, verified by through eight evaluation protocols, namely, the visual analogue scale, the spinal flexibility tests, the thoracic cirtometry, the manual dynamometry, the manovacuometry, the microspirometry, the sitting and standing test from a chair and the walking test of six minutes, respectively, from the verification of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to find an improvement in the parameters related to mental health, which are self-perception of health, quality of life, quality of sleep and symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress, verified through three evaluation protocols, namely, the Medical Outcomes Study 36 – Item Short-Form Health Survey, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21, respectively, based on the verification of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
