ABSTRACT
The objective of this review was to analyze the effect of HIIT on cardiorespiratory fitness, health-related quality of life (HRQL) and safety of its execution in people over 65 years of age. A systematic search was carried out, following the PRISMA recommendations, in 11 electronic databases, evaluating the resolution of the HIIT, affecting cardiorespiratory capacity as the main result and secondarily HRQL and safety of its execution, assessing the risk of bias using Rob 2.0 and ROBINS-I. Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria, consisting of people >65 years, HIIT intervention >4 weeks, and studies assessing cardiorespiratory fitness. It can be concluded that HIIT improves cardiorespiratory capacity in people over 65 years of age, with respect to HRQL and the safety of its execution, the results are not conclusive. It becomes essential to unify criteria in intervention protocols, requiring further research in this regard.

Resumen: La pandemia por COVID-19, originada en diciembre de 2019 en Wuhan, China, obligó a los países, incluido Chile, a un confinamiento masivo para evitar la propagación de SARS-CoV2. Desde marzo de 2020 en Chile, también se afectó la realización de actividad física y deporte en los niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNA). En un esfuerzo por reunir la escasa evidencia disponible sobre el retorno a la práctica de ejercicio en NNA post pandemia COVID-19 y la opinión de expertos de 4 sociedades científicas y académicas (Sociedad Chilena de Medicina del Deporte, Sociedad Chilena de Pediatría, Sociedad Chilena de Kinesiología Deportiva y la Consejo Académico Nacional de Educación Física) se han generado recomendaciones para un retorno seguro a la actividad para el ramo Educación Física y Salud, deporte escolar y federado tanto para disminuir los riesgos asociados a los efectos del confinamiento como para evitar la propagación de COVID-19. Adicionalmente, se incluyen una guía de recomendación para padres y profesores y otra para médicos sobre la vigilancia y evaluación de los pacientes NNA que sostendrán enfermedad COVID-19 y deseen volver al deporte y ejercicio.
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic, originated in December 2019 in Wuhan, China, forced a massive quaran tine in most countries including Chile to avoid the propagation of SARS-CoV2. Since March 2020 in Chile, it affected the participation of children and youth athletes as well in education, physical activity and sports. In an effort to assess the scarce available evidence about return to sport and exercise in children and adolescents post COVID-19 pandemic and gather the opinion of experts of 4 Chilean scientific and academic societies (Sociedad Chilena de Medicina del Deporte, Sociedad Chilena de Pediatría, Sociedad Chilena de Kinesiología Deportiva and Consejo Académico Nacional de Edu cación Física) we have produced recommendations for a safe return to activities in Physical Activity and Health class, School Sports and Federation Sports to reduce the risks associated with the effects of confinement and to avoid the propagation of COVID-19 and. Additionally, a recommendation for parents and teachers and a another for physicians for surveillance and evaluation of children and adolescents who were or will become COVID-19 patients and wish to return to sports end exercise.
