Isometric exercise
The isometric protocol (handgrip) will be performed into 4 percentages of MVC (15, 30, 45 and 60%) to exhaustion in 3 postures (supine, seated and standing position). The percentages and the postures will be randomized. In the first day of exercise protocol the subjects will be at rest during 10 minutes and will perform 3 MVC during 5 seconds, with 5 minutes of recovery. The higher value of MVC will be used to prescribe the percentages. The subjects will perform two contractions until exhaustion in one posture in each day.
