Concurrent and aerobic physical exercise are recognized strategies for the treatment of overweight and obesity. The interventions of these modalities have been performed with cardiovascular machines or guided execution in their majority, making it possible to improve the health of this population; however, the studies have used high-cost equipment that is not very accessible to the general population. For this reason, we propose to compare the effects of two 12-week programs: concurrent vs. aerobic, using an innovative methodology with musicalized and outdoor activities, little approached by research. The polarized training intensity distribution model, usually used in sports and now applied to physical activity to improve VO2max, muscular strength, and body composition, will be used to determine which intervention is superior in improving these variables.
