摘要：This study aimed to evaluate vital signs and cardiorespiratory performance (average speed) of people with neurological disorders after carrying out a rehabilitation protocol. 14 volunteers of both genders, between 18 and 85 years old, participated. Throughout the protocol, vital signs were collected during the initial rest; effort and recovery. Parameters such as: blood pressure (BP), peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate (HR), perceived exertion scale (BORG) and mean gait speed were evaluated in a cardiorespiratory rehabilitation program for 12 weeks, totaling 24 sessions, with each session lasting 1 hour. It was found that post-exercise recovery heart rate reduced in relation to efforts, but did not return to baseline values with statistical difference. In turn, the initial heart rate during rest throughout the treatment showed a significant decrease (p<0.05). The cardiorespiratory performance behaved in phases (initial, intermediate, final phases), and the most satisfactory result occurred in the final phase, from the 14th session. HR during effort showed a significant increase of 6%. Thus, it was possible to verify that after cardiorespiratory rehabilitation, HRi decreased, there was an improvement in performance without major variations in HR, BP and SpO2 during exercise, demonstrating that the treatment was beneficial and safe for volunteers with central nervous system injury.
