Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Experimental: High Intensity Interval	Walking on a treadmill 4min at 80-90% peak heart rate and recovery 4 min at 65% peak heart rate until expenditure of 500 kcal
BEHAVIORAL	Resistance training	Completing a resistance circuit (including upper and lower muscle groups) as many times as needed according to subject weight until expenditure of 500 kcal
BEHAVIORAL	Plus: High Intensity Interval + Resistance Training	Walking on a treadmill as intervention 1 until 50% the energy expenditure prescribed is reached, then completing a resistance circuit until 100% energy expenditure is reached
OTHER	Non-exercise	This group will receive the usual clinical care according to the consensus recommendations of the national goals for cardiovascular health promotion and disease reduction of the American Heart Association and Colombian guidelines COLDEPORTES.
