Checked that the QL of the participants: which can be considered a median, close to 60 points (1 to 100); with men's indicators smaller than those offering women's; most had of them felt pain and were using medication and presented difficulties in carrying out daily activities; productivism, the time elements factor, among others, are part of the stressors elements.
