2.3.2. Measures
This study was carried out between October 2019 and March 2020. Prior to data collection, participants attended a familiarization session for each test. During the familiarization session, the study participants completed the anamnesis regarding self-reported medical history, lifestyle habits and physical activity, the SF-36 questionnaire, and the BREQ-3 questionnaire. One week after familiarization, the dependent variables were tested as described below.Tests to assess functional capacity, physical capacity, quality of life, and body composition were applied at weeks 1, 9, 18, and 27. The evaluations of these variables were applied in these weeks to assess the effects of each of the phases of the program. Motivation to exercise was assessed at weeks 1 and 27 to give a broader perspective of the effect of the entire program on this variable. These were performed between 8:00–12:00 h and there was a 5 min break between measurements. The evaluator in charge of the tests was blinded, so he did not know to which group each participant belonged. All participants were asked to maintain their normal daily routines and eating habits.Next, the measures related to the dependent variables of this research will be detailed:
