Cardiopulmonary Function and Quality of Life in Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Sponsor: Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
Summary
This work aims to assess cardiopulmonary function and quality of life in people with sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis undergoing rehabilitation. It is an experimental clinical study, with evaluation before and after the intervention. Included participants will be randomized and divided into a control group and an intervention group. Quality of life is examined by two questionnaires and physical fitness by specific tests, before and after the intervention. The intervention is the realization of a supervised physical exercise protocol.

Interventions
Physical rehabilitation
Rehabilitation can be applied to the intervention group in two ways: in person or by home orientation. The face-to-face form will correspond to 5 weeks of intervention, 3 sessions per week, which should include: a) aerobic resistance training of 30 minutes in total, five minutes of cooling down); b) strengthening of peripheral muscles using 20-minute sessions of calisthenic exercises; and c) maintained active stretching, for 10 minutes, for the main muscle groups. The home-based intervention will correspond to three months of daily activities, monitored twice a week in the first month and once a week in the second and third months, by telephone or video conference, and will follow an exercise protocol that includes: a) aerobic resistance training for 15 uninterrupted minutes; b) anaerobic training to strengthen the peripheral muscles for 15 minutes at intervals with breathing exercises; and c) maintained active stretching, for 10 minutes, for the main muscle groups.
