| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Physical activity plus thoracic mobilization | Experimental | Subjects 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 Comparator | Subjects allocated to this arm will be submitted to the same anaerobic exercise protocol, without the thoracic mobilization. |
|
| Placebo | Placebo Comparator | Subjects 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. |
