Brief Summary

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

This research project aims to investigate the acute effects of a dance-based cardiac rehabilitation session in the cardiovascular system and autonomic modulation of women with cardiac risk factors. Also, as a secondary outcome, to compare the cardiovascular and autonomic responses of the dance-based session to a conventional exercise-based session.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

CROSSOVER

The study consists of one group of women who will be submitted to one dance-based cardiac rehabilitation session and after that will be submitted to one conventional exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation session

Primary Study Purpose

TREATMENT

Blinding Strategy

DOUBLE

Investigators Outcome Assessors

The researcher performing the heart rate variability and heart rate recovery data filtering will be blinded, and the researcher performing the data analysis will also be blinded. All data will be handled in a coded datasheet and all volunteer's names will be replaced by a confidential ID.

Study Groups

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

Conventional Exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation

This interventional arm consists of a conventional exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation, composed of initial rest, warm-up, treadmill aerobic exercise, orthostatic passive recovery, and supine passive recovery.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional Exercise-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Session

Intervention Type OTHER

This session will be composed of:

I.10 minutes of initial rest in the supine position; II. 15 minutes of warm-up through stretching and global exercises; III. 30 minutes of treadmill aerobic exercise at an intensity of 60-80% of the heart rate reserve for those without diabetes Mellitus and 40-70% of the heart rate reserve for those diagnosed with diabetes mellitus; IV. 1 minute passive recovery in orthostatic position; V. 30 minutes of passive recovery in the supine position.

Dance-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation

This interventional arm consists of a new dance-based cardiac rehabilitation, composed of initial rest, warm-up, dance therapy, orthostatic passive recovery and supine passive recovery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Dance-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Session

Intervention Type OTHER

I.10 minutes of initial rest in the supine position; II. 15 minutes of warm-up through stretching and global exercises; III. 30 minutes of dance therapy. The intensity of the choreography will be set at the same range as the conventional exercise-based session. (60-80% of the heart rate reserve for those without diabetes Mellitus and 40-70% of the heart rate reserve for those diagnosed with diabetes mellitus); IV. 1 minute passive recovery in orthostatic position; V. 30 minutes of passive recovery in the supine position.

* To be previously diagnosed with at least one of the following cardiac risk factors:

1. Age ≥ 55 years
2. Family history: Known myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, or sudden death in the first-degree relatives before 55 years in male or 65 years in female relatives
3. Hypertension: values of systolic blood pressure (SBP) equal to or higher than 140 mmHg and/or values of diastolic blood pressure (DBP) equal to or higher than 90 mmHg, or daily use of antihypertensive drugs
4. Dyslipidemia: values of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) ≥ 130 mg.dL-1, or values of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) \< 40 mg.dL-1, or daily use of lipid-lowering drugs
