Physical Exercise on Physiological Adaptation Capacity and Chronic Pain in Individuals With Cardiovascular Risk

Brief summary (from the registry)

This research focuses on studying the effects of a 12-week exercise program on the health of individuals at risk of heart disease. The program includes High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) and Muscle Endurance Resistance Exercise (ERE). The researchers aim to observe the impact of these exercises on physiological adaptability, physical capacity, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolism, body composition, and chronic pain. The participants will be inactive adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) between 25 and 39.9, who are enrolled in a cardiovascular health program. Individuals with certain serious conditions, such as bone or heart problems, pulmonary diseases, cancer, or those who do not adequately understand instructions or Spanish, are ineligible to participate. Patients will be selected by the program team and divided into three groups: one will perform HIIT, another will engage in ERE, and a control group will continue their usual treatment. Participants will be assessed at different times: before starting, at 4 weeks, at 8 weeks, and at the end of the program. Various health aspects will be measured, including physical activity, quality of life, physical capacity, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolism, body composition, and pain level.
