Results.

The evaluation by the Cpax test showed that 81% had a good physical condition and 19% had a regular condition; in relation to post-evaluation oxygen saturation, 98% showed values higher than> 90 and 2% values <90; Regarding the initial fatigue, 49% were reported with moderate fatigue, 42% extreme fatigue, 4% mild fatigue, 4% without fatigue and 2% with the worst fatigue, while in the post-evaluation 51% presented moderate fatigue, 35 % mild fatigue, 11% extreme fatigue, 4% without fatigue and 0% without the maximum level of fatigue. The result of the Chi-Square test on the Cpax comparison before and after the evaluation was p <0.05 with a confidence level of 99.9%, therefore, a significance was presented.
