Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It was expected to conclude that the whole-body electromyostimulation, in an acute way,<br>could enhance the increase in cardiorespiratory capacity and cardiac autonomic modulation during physical exercise in the obese population. Through assessments of anthropometry, heart rate variability and ergometry associated with dynamic physical exercise, it was observed from the various study variables that it was observed that wholy-body elecmyotrostimulation, in acute way, did not enhance the effects of the exercises<br>effects on cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiopulmonary capacity in individuals with obesity

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
In addition to the study of variables in the obese population, the same study was also done with eutrophic individuals. And as with the obese, the electromyostimulation of the whole body, in an acute way, did not potentiate the effects of the exercises<br>effects on cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiopulmonary capacity in these individuals
