- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Improves motor skills verified by the tests of sit and reach, abdominal strength test, push-up test, run test and going back and fifty metros running test from the significant variation of finding at least 5% in pre and post-intervention measurements;Found outcome: significant improvement (p <0.05) motor capacity verified by means of abdominal strength tests, arm flexion test, running test and going back and running test fifty meters. However, there was no change in the sit and reach test (p = 0.45).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Increased awareness of physical fitness checked by Questionnaire IFIS - International Fitness Scale, improved physical activity level verified by the IPAQ long version and improved spinal function verified by the stress tests of the test trunk extensor muscles modified Biering-Sorensen test of endurance of the flexor muscles of the trunk and test resistance of the lateral muscles of the trunk by the side bridge test. Changes will be detected as a significant change of at least 5% in the pre and post-intervention measurements.;Outcome found: there was no significant improvement in the perception of physical fitness (p = 0.33) verified by IFIS Questionnaire - International Fitness Scale, no significant improvement (p = 0.24) of the physical activity level verified by version IPAQ long and significant improvement in functionality to the spine only of the trunk extensor muscle endurance tests (p = 0.02) and flexor trunk (p = 0.01).
