Another researcher performed the individual interview with each participant (baseline) and aplied the instruments of socialdemographic data, physical activity, ansiety and depression, perceived health status and selfefficacy to practice of physical activity. At the end of the interviewThe same researcher opened the envelope to allocate the participants to either intervention or control group.
