About this trial
This study aims to compare the acute effects at the cardiovascular (heart rate, blood pressure) and physiological (lactate) levels, as well as the perception of effort and fatigue, of four exercise modalities, one based on the traditional aerobic training methodology, another based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT), another consisting of aerobic exercise performed in conjunction with an immersive virtual reality (VR) application, and a last one consisting of exercise with HIIT-type parameters but also performed in conjunction with an immersive VR application.
All participants will complete one session of each of the four exercise modalities, analyzing the variables studied in each for subsequent analysis and comparison.
