About

Several studies have shown relationship between exercise intensity and improvement cardiometabolic health. It has been suggested that high intensity interval training and also moderate training generate positive effects on metabolic risk factors. For these reasons, it is necessary to clarify which type of training, is more effective to improve cardiometabolic health in latinamerican population.
