Brief Summary

This is a cross-sectional study, that is going to be conducted during the quarantine, period established by the state of São Paulo to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, between March 24 2020 and May 31 2020. Thus, the differential of this study is to use 100% telerehabilitation, in which the rehabilitation team and participants only had telephone contact, communication application (WhatsApp) and software interaction. 40 participants will be included. Potential and interested volunteers will be assessed by a detailed screening using the eligibility criteria and attended an initial selection for enrolment in the study. It wiil be used a platform called MoveHero, available for free use in https://movehero.com.br/. The individual needs access the internet, and once he gets online, he had to create his own account, inserting his name, email and creating a password. Considering that the platform presents different levels of difficulty, after the participant is connected to the platform, the researcher directed the participant to the protocol bespoke for each participant, playing 3 rounds of the game for 5 minutes each (total of 15 minutes). During the intervention, it will be applied BORG scale in order to assess their perceived effort.
