Usual clinical care
Walking on a treadmill 4min at 80-90% peak heart rate and recovery 4 min at 65% peak heart rate until expenditure of 300 kcal during adaptation (first 4 weeks) and 500 kcal after week number 4 until the end of training.
Completing a resistance circuit (including upper and lower muscle groups) as many times as needed according to subject weight until expenditure of 300 kcal during adaptation (first 4 weeks) at 20-30% of 1 one-rep max and 500 kcal after week number 4 until the end of training, at 40-60% of one-rep max.
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. Exercise will be performed at three sessions per week.
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.
