  • Currently at treatment;
  • 4-6 months after surgery

Exclusion criteria

  • Musculoskeletal injuries or disorders;

Treatment and study plan

Combined Exercise Training

Other

This intervention consisted in 4 weeks of strength, flexibility and aerobic exercises made at the hospital and at home.

Other names: Exercise

Primary outcomes

  1. Reduction in Low Frequency Heart rate variability component (LF)

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    This reduction is positive, indicating a reduction in sympathetic activity and thus the cardiovascular risk

  2. Increase in High Frequency heart rate variability component (HF)

    Time frame: 4 weeks

    Means a increase in parasympathetic activity, which is correlated to reduction in cardiovascular risk
