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.
