- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is expected to find a decrease in blood pressure variability after a period of twenty-four weeks of training, verified through ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre and post-intervention.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To evaluate cardiac autonomic modulation after a period of twenty-four weeks of training, verified through the technique of heart rate variability, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in pre- and post-intervention measurements.
