Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Due to the high incidence of falls in the elderly population, this study is presented as a method to reduce the risk of falls through a specific type of training in people over 60 years of age.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A 16-week high intensity interval training (HIIT) program, compared to a continuous exercise program and one that does not perform any training program, decreases the risk of falls and improves the state of health, physical condition and quality of life to a greater extent than a group that does not perform any type of exercise in people over 60 years.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

HIIT group

This group receives physical training based on HIIT

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

HIIT group, MICT group

Intervention Type OTHER

The HIIT program training:

5 minutes of heating will be done. The intervention will consist of a training in suspension (TRX) performing squats. The session will be divided into four four-minute intervals at an intensity of 90-95% of the maximum heart rate, followed by three-minute active rest intervals of 50-70%. This intensity will be assigned to each subject individually. After the training, there will be a return to calm of 10 minutes of exercises of joint range. There will be 2 weekly training, with three days between both training, for a period of 12 weeks.

The training of the MICT program:

5 minutes of heating will be done. Subsequently, participants will perform a squat training with the Suspension Training System (TRX) with an intensity close to 70% of their maximum heart rate maintained for 40 minutes. The session will conclude with a return to calm of 10 min of joint width and stretching.
