Abstract
Obesity is associated with psychosocial problems such as deficiencies in social coexistence, quality life and biomarkers. For the treatment of obesity, there is evidence that high intensity interval training (HIIT) is feasible to improve biomarkers and quality life in the adult population. In the school population, the evidence is more limited, creating a gap regarding its applicability. The main purpose of the research has been to determine the variables that are being affected by childhood obesity from a global perspective and determine the effects of HIIT-based games applied in Physical Education classes on weight status, cardiorespiratory fitness and blood pressure of overweight and obese school children.
