Methods: the metabolic, hemodynamic and anthropometric parameters were evaluated and the data analysis was processed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences for Windows software. Results: three diferente models stratified by gender were adjusted that were estimated through Confirmatory Factor Analysis by the maximum likelihood method implemented in the IBM SPSS AMOS 23.0 software.
