Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group-swimming
swim training
Swimming training will be conducted with the implementation of the freestyle. The training will be held a week with 3 X 50 minutes for a period of 12 weeks.
Patients will be monitored by a frequency waterproof. When at the beginning of training are carried out five minutes of heating, followed by 40minutos swimming 5 minutes and cooling at the end of training.
Control-walk
Training walk
The control group will perform walking exercise outdoors, monitored by a frequency, with the heart rate at anaerobic threshold assessed by cardiopulmonary exercise test.
The training of walking will last 50 minutes, three times per week for 12 weeks.
At the beginning of training, there will be a heating time of 5 minutes, followed by LA walk in cooling for 40 minutes and 5 minutes.
