Brief Summary:
To analyze the alterations of physiologic variables in healthy sedentary women in the Shuttle Walk Test, verify the distance reached and interruption causes of the test.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment
Healthy Other: Shuttle walk test

Detailed Description:
The Shuttle Walk Test requires patients to walk at a gradually increasing speed, up and down a 10 meter corridor identified by two marker cones, until they reach a symptom limited maximum. The walking speed was externally paced and controlled by a series of beeps played on a compact disk.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Exercise Capacity
Individuals from the female gender; age range of 20 to 30 years old; considered healthy (i.e. with no diagnosed health condition; considered sedentary (i.e. performing less than 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per week); will be asked to volunteer in the research and perform a exercise capacity test.
 Other: Shuttle walk test
the test requires patients to walk at a gradually increasing speed, up and down a 10 m course identified by two marker cones, until they reach a symptom limited maximum. The walking speed was externally paced and controlled by a series of beeps played on a compact disk.
