    Efectos del entrenamiento de intervalos de alta intensidad en niños y adolescentes con sobrepeso
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia, 2024-03-15) Castillo Castro, Karen Yadira; Cedeño Zamora, María Narciza
    The research aims to comprehensively and critically analyze the scientific literature on the effects of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) in overweight children and adolescents. It focuses on changes in body composition, risk factors, and adherence to the exercise program, seeking to assess the efficacy and safety of HIIT in this population comprehensively. The PRISMA method was used for the literature review, implementing the AMSTAR quality methodology and the PEDro scale. The analysis of HIIT protocols shows significant improvements in school health, especially in size and body composition indicators. Despite encouraging results, there is a need to address concerns about identified bias. The priority of more high-quality studies is emphasized, and a suggestion is made to compare HIIT with moderate continuous exercise. Future research is urged to address knowledge gaps, particularly in cognitive and nutritional outcomes in school settings. The reflection concludes that HIIT, when adapted to the population, not only enhances physical health but also provides a motivating solution for time and participation challenges in youth physical activity programs. It is innovative and effective in promoting long-term health and well-being.
