for group 1, taking into account the results presented,
they are able to enter and start physical activities to im-
prove the levels found, specifically weight, BMI, HR,
SBP and DBP.
[23,24] postulate that every adult individual should
accumulate at least 30 minutes of physical activity at
least 5 days a week, or if possible the entire week, of
moderate intensity, which can be performed continuously
or accumulated. However, the group of women consid-
ered little active completed the stress test by the Bruce
protocol in the 4th stage with the following specifica-
tions: 4.2 mph, 16% incline, VO2Max 45, 13 METs and
already amounted 10 minutes of test performance, which
can be considered good for a exercise testing, consider-
ing the physical fitness of the “little active” women. The
women in group 1 that “self-declared” completely sed-
entary, completed the exercise testing by the Naughton
protocol on stage 7 with the following specifications: 02
Mph, 17.5% incline, VO2 Max 24.5, 7 METs and already
amounted 21 minutes of test performance and yet, for the
variables of the events of the cardiac cycle in accordance
with the statistical analysis, the results were not different
between groups 1 and 2 in most of the variables, as
shown in Table 2.
5. CONCLUSIONS
Participants in group 1 are able to particip ate in urgent
and need physical activity programs from the results
presented, specifically due to body weight, BMI, heart
rate and blood pres s ure;
Participants from group 2 require more days of prac-
tice of physical activities and longer hours to improve the
levels of heart rate and blood pressure;
The results presented in Tables 3 and 4 show that
there was little difference between groups 1 and 2 in re-
lation to the protocols used, as well as the physical fit-
ness levels of both groups;
Both groups had high levels of heart rate in the effort
applied during the exercise test protocol (Naughton and
Bruce protocol).
