Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Comparison of the effects of physical activity (treadmill running) plus thoracic mobilization, physical activity only or a placebo intervention (only manual contact thoracic mobilization), on heart rate variability and pressure pain threshold.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Physical activity plus thoracic mobilization

Subjects randomly allocated to this arm will be submitted to a 10 minutes anaerobic exercise (2 minutes warming up, 5 minutes of 75% to 85% maximal heat rate, 3 minutes slowdown), followed by 5 minutes of passive intervertebral thoracic mobilization (3 sets of 1 minute, grade III, and 1 minute rest between each set).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Physical activity plus thoracic mobilization

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Information already included in arm/group descriptions.

Physical activity

Subjects allocated to this arm will be submitted to the same anaerobic exercise protocol, without the thoracic mobilization.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Physical activity

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Information already included in arm/group descriptions.

Placebo

Subjects in this group will be conducted to a placebo thoracic mobilization, without anaerobic exercise protocol. The investigator will apply only a manual contact, to mimic the genuine thoracic mobilization. The same 5 minutes period will be respected, and the same position of therapist and subject.
