Control
DE: divided in stretch: arms, hands, legs, knees, for 20 seconds (s), resting 5, warming and flexion: making small circles forward and backward for 20 s, resting 5, DE: resistance (contraction, twisting) using therapeutic leagues with 20 repetitions, resting 10 s. Aerobic part will perform in a treadmill by 20 minutes (monitoring blood pressure and heart rate) and relaxation: involved the "stretching" part. MD: Individualized diet (energy expenditure) according to age, ideal weight and height. Distribution of macronutrients will be 50% carbohydrates, 30% lipids and 20% of proteins. This diet is according to the Mediterranean diet patterns and consist in five meals: breakfast, snack, principal meal, snack and dinner. All recommended meals include type of food and method of preparation.
