Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Heart rate variability
Change from baseline, immediately after, and 15 minutes after the intervention.
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Pressure pain threshold
Change from baseline, mimediately after, and 15 minutes after the intervention.
Study Arms (3)
Physical activity plus thoracic mobilization
EXPERIMENTALSubjects randomly allocated to this arm will be submitted to a 10 minutes anaerobic exercise (2 minutes warming up, 5 minutes of 75% to 85% maximal heat rate, 3 minutes slowdown), followed by 5 minutes of passive intervertebral thoracic mobilization (3 sets of 1 minute, grade III, and 1 minute rest between each set).
Physical activity
ACTIVE COMPARATORSubjects allocated to this arm will be submitted to the same anaerobic exercise protocol, without the thoracic mobilization.
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORSubjects in this group will be conducted to a placebo thoracic mobilization, without anaerobic exercise protocol. The investigator will apply only a manual contact, to mimic the genuine thoracic mobilization. The same 5 minutes period will be respected, and the same position of therapist and subject.
