- Interventions
- It will be recruited at least 60 patients in each clinical condition (DM, DA and PD), considering the loss of follow-up of 20% (12 patients). Thus, sample reach the N 20 subjects for each type of intervention (physical training and control) and a total of 180 patients during the five years of research (60 DM, 60 AD, 60 PD). The sample size was based on the results of a pilot unpublished study conducted in our laboratory.The control group (C) will have clinical follow-up, but will not perform any physical training. The training group (TG) will attend the Institute of Neurology Deolindo Couto twice a week to conduct a training routine. The routine consists of performing aerobic training (AT) and force (TF) in a 60-minute service session, 30 minutes for each training method. The TF will be done at an intensity of 70% of one repetition maximum (RM). large groups will be used (extensors and knee flexors, dorsal and pectoral), three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions for each muscle group. The TA will be carried out at an intensity of 70% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) or 80% of maximum heart rate (MHR) estimated production, established by the formula 220 - age. equipment will be used as a treadmill for walking or stationary bike. The training will be led by physical education teachers and physiotherapists and will be monitored by the rate monitors Polar ® brand. the blood pressure of the subjects will be measured before, during and after each training session.;Other;I02.233.543
