Brief Summary
Mammography is a systematic way in the main programs of screening for breast cancer in women over 40 or 50 years old, according to screening programs, but most research has shown a frequency of discomfort and pain during the examination mammography. This study is a randomized controlled trial, whose intervention will be a sequence of exercises body warming and muscle stretching, performed systematic manner and supervised by a physical educator. It is expected to find in this study a possible impact of physical exercise in reducing pain after mammography examination.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Decreased pain after mammography.
Following the randomization, approximately 10 minutes after performing a physical exercise in the upper limbs (Group 1) and lower (Group 2), or not performing any physical exercise (Group 0), the woman will be submitted to bilateral mammogram. Ten minutes after the procedure, the assessment of pain during mammography will be measured by the visual analog scale. The mean difference between the measurements of visual analog scale (VAS) will be compared between groups.
Decrease in pain after performing mammography, checked10 minutes after the procedure e, measured by visual analog scale.
