13 women and 13 men) or control follow-up (N=26
13 women) for 12 weeks. The high-intensity functional training will consist of 4 weekly sessions lasting 60 minutes, where the WOD will be performed at high intensity
the conventional training will consist of 150 minutes per week of moderate aerobic activity, combined with 2 weekly sessions of high-intensity strength training, and the participants in the control gr
