Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Increase in strength and reduced quadriceps` fatigue through Isokinetic BIODEX SYSTEM , Biodex Multi -Joint System 2 Model BIODEX MEDICAL SYSTEM Inc., Biodex Software version. 4.5, waiting maintenance or increase of at least 5% in muscular strength and endurance.;The improvement in body composition (lean mass and fat mass ) by means of its measurement by bioimpedance scale (InBody 720) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry data (DXA) , waiting for a free reduce of BMI and % fat and reduce by at least one degree of obesity classification.;Functional performance of submaximal tests (increased distance and / or the number of steps ascended) measured by the 6- minute walk test and the 2 -minute step test respectively, waiting a minimum increase of 25 m in walk and four steps as well the measure of oxigen uptake expecting an increase at least 20-30%.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Reduction of blood inflammatory markers measured by ELISA (Enzyme -Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay) with serum measurements performed in duplicate , reduce of metabolic profile measured by blood glucose, fasting insulin and consequent quantification of insulin resistance by the Homeostasis Model method Assessment (HOMA -IR ), hoping to reach normal values in accordance with the laboratory references.;In relation to flow-mediated vasodilation is expected to compare its response pre and post maximal exercise and submaximal test in obese people and identify whether there is a sex - dependent factor. It is expected only to study their behavior, because there is no normal values referenced for this population.
