Entrenamiento de Intervalos de Alta Intensidad en Casa para Individuos Obesos con Elevado Riesgo de Enfermedad Cardiovascular

This study focuses on a 12-week home-based exercise program designed for obese individuals who have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The goal is to create a workout plan that's suitable for people with low fitness and mobility levels, as current high-intensity interval training (HIT) programs often require special equipment and supervision. The study involves obese adults who have at least three additional risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The importance of this research lies in its potential to make exercise more accessible, thereby addressing a significant public health challenge. Participants in this study are divided into three groups. One group follows the home-based HIT program (Home-HIT), another group engages in a lab-supervised HIT program (Lab-HIT), and the third group performs moderate-intensity continuous training at home (Home-MICT). The Home-HIT group performs simple bodyweight exercises that don't require any equipment. The exercises are monitored using a heart rate monitor and a mobile app to ensure they're done correctly. The study measures changes in various health markers, such as aerobic fitness, insulin sensitivity, body composition, and heart health. It also assesses the participants' ability to stick to the exercise program and meet the target heart rates.
