Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
A home-based intervention based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT). A physical therapist, with more than 5 years of experience, will provide a video session upload to YouTube. A WhatsApp message will individually send to each participant with a session link, that they will have to complete.
Frequency, duration of the sessions and overall duration of the intervention: 45 min of HIIT session, six days per week during all the self-isolation period (6 weeks estimated).
Each session will have:
1) A warm-up (10 min): Joint mobility exercises.
2) Main part: CORE, arms and legs exercises, with 10-12 sets of 30-90 seconds with 15-60 seconds of rest between sets (ie. push ups, squats, splits or dead lifts). All the exercises will be performed with their own weight.
3) Cold down: Flexibility exercises.
Adherences will daily be monitored through WhatsApp message.

Comparator / control treatment
A home-based intervention based on aerobic training will be the control intervention. A physical therapist, with more than 5 years of experience, will provide a video session upload to YouTube. A WhatsApp message will individually send to each participant with a session link, that they will have to complete.
Frequency, duration of the sessions and overall duration of the intervention: 45 min of aerobic session, six days per week during all the self-isolation period (6 weeks estimated).
Each session will have:
1) A warm-up (10 min): Joint mobility exercises.
2) Main part: 3-4 sets of 6-8 minutes with 1-2 minutes of rest between sets (ie. boxing squats, jumping jacks, skipping or skaters). All the exercises will be performed with their own weight.
3) Cold down: Flexibility exercises.
Adherences will daily be monitored through WhatsApp message.

Statistical methods / analysis
The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was employed in order to estimate the sample size using the PASS software. Taking into account the data from a previous research (Mailey et al., 2010), A total of 34 participants ( 17 subjects per group) were estimated in order to detect differences (a value 0.05 and 99% of power) in a repeated measures design.

Summary
Brief summary
The main objective of this project is to compare the effects of two intervention programs 1) aerobic and another 2) high intensity interval training on anxiety, depression and stress during the self-isolation caused by the health emergency in Spain. The hypothesis that we propose is the following: The group that performs high intensity interval training had higher impact on stress, anxiety or depression than those who performed aerobic exercises.
