Methods: Uncontrolled clinical trial in which a concurrent physical exercise program will be carried out for 6 weeks, performing physical evaluations such as 6-minute walk and manual strength by dynamometer, application of SF-36 questionnaires, measurement of urea, glucose, creatinine and albumin, in addition to analyzing body composition by electrical bioimpedance.
