Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Reduction of the pain threshold of hypertensive individuals after cardiac rehabilitation, verified by the algometer with increment from 1 N/s to 10 N/s to avoid tissue damage, as a result of the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre and post-intervention. The pressure applied to the skin is interrupted when the individual vocally reports pain.
