Effects of Polarized Exercise in Adolescents With Severe Obesity (ALPOLAROB)

Polarized workout lasting approximately 40 minutes (two sessions/day, 5 days a week), characterized by a 5-minute warm-up performed at 50% of the peak V'O2, followed by 3 sets of 2 minutes at 95% of peak V'O2, interspersed with 1 minute of recovery at 40% of peak V'O2, followed by 30 minutes of moderate activity at 60% of V'O2 peak. Total of 24 sessions in 12 days.

High intensity workout (HIIT) (two sessions/day, 5 days a week), characterized by a 10-minute warm-up performed at 50% of peak V'O2 , followed by 6 series of 40 s of high-intensity walking corresponding to 95% of peak V'O2, interspersed with 5 minutes of walking at 40% of peak V'O2, ending with 5' of cool-down at 50% of the peak V'O2. Total of 24 sessions in 12 days.
