Overview
Brief Summary
Due to the high incidence of falls in the elderly population, this study is presented as a method to reduce the risk of falls through a specific type of training in people over 60 years of age.
Detailed Description
A 16-week high intensity interval training (HIIT) program, compared to a continuous exercise program and one that does not perform any training program, decreases the risk of falls and improves the state of health, physical condition and quality of life to a greater extent than a group that does not perform any type of exercise in people over 60 years.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •To participate in the study, participants will be required to be 60 years of age or older.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Opto-electric measuring system.
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
To be used to control the parameters of the gait.
CT10P
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
Can be used for the assessment of dynamic equilibrium, which aims to walk ten steps followed by a straight line on the ground, in the shortest time possible, without losing speed, or support a cake off the line.
UPDATE AND PERFORM THE TEST
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
Be employed for the assessment of dynamic balance, in which the subject starts from the sitting position in a chair (without palm rest). The evaluator's verbal signal initiates time control (sec). The evaluator must: get up from the chair, travel a distance of 3 meters, go around a pivot, travel the same distance back and sit back in the chair as quickly as possible. The closing of the time is established when the evaluated subject makes contact with the chair sitting down.
Sensor Medica
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
It has been used to measure the static equilibrium and the calculation of the displacement of the center of pressures (CoP).
Opto-electric measurement system
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
It has been used for the evaluation of the reaction speed of the lower train and the upper train of the participants, with three different tests, acoustic, optical and optoacoustic.
Dynamometer
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
Be used to assess the muscle strength of each participant in your dominant hand.
Confidence Scale of the specific balance of activities (ABC)
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
Be used to assess the fear of falling.
Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I)
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
Be used to assess the confidence in carrying out daily activities of the participants.
Pulsometer
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
It will be used to measure the heart rate of the participants in the performance of a cardiorespiratory function test.
UKK walk test of 2 km
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
It will be necessary to assess the cardiorespiratory frequency of the participants in a walking test 2 km as fast as possible.
InBody 720
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
It will be used for the assessment of the lean muscle mass, the segmental fat mass and the amount of intra and extracellular water.
SF-36 (The Short Form-36 Health Survey)
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
Will be used to assess the quality of life in its Spanish version.
HADS (Hospital Anxiety And Depression Scale)
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
It will be used to evaluate the depression and anxiety levels of the participants.
Accelerometer
Time Frame: Up to twelve weeks.
It will be used to assess the quality of sleep, control of the period of physical activity, sedentary period and energy expenditure.
