Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Average difference of 6 points on the Depression Rating Scale Montgomery-Asberg - MADRS in favor of physical exercise groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Cognitive function: Front evaluation battery, Processing speed, Function and memory - 10% increase in performance in favor of physical exercise groups.; MOca - Increase of 2 points in favor of physical exercise groups; Stroop test - decrease in 2 seconds in the execution of the test in favor of physical exercise groups. The Frontal Evaluation Battery [36] is a brief tool designed to evaluate executive functions. This instrument takes approximately 10 minutes to administer its six items: (i) similarities (conceptualization) - explores abstract reasoning by presenting pairs of objects of the same semantic category; (ii) lexical fluency (mental flexibility) - evaluates self-organization, strategy and change, generating as many words as possible beginning with a certain letter; (iii) series of engines - explores scheduling and engine planning by running the Luria (palm side) series; (iv) conflicting instructions - exploits the sensitivity to interference, giving the opposite response to that of the examiner; (v) go / no-go - evaluates inhibitory control and impulsivity; and (vi) grip behavior - evaluates the ability to spontaneously inhibit grip. A maximum score of 18 is obtained by adding the score to each of the six items, which are scored between 0 and 3. Each of the six items evaluates different cognitive and behavioral domains involved in different neural networks. The Trail A and B test was proposed in the mid-last century [37] to assess visual tracking, attention, mental flexibility and motor function [71]; They were used to assess the effect of physical exercise on executive functions [24]. It consists of two sections (A and B): circles with numbers (1-25) (Session A) and numbers (1-13) and letters (A - L) (session B). The evaluator should draw lines with a pencil or pen to connect the circles in an ascending pattern (Session A) and increasing pattern, but performing the alternation between numbers and letters (that is, 1-A-2-BC-3, etc.). - Session B). | — |
