This study aims to compare the acute effects at the cardiovascular (heart rate, blood pressure) and physiological (lactate) levels, as well as the perception of effort and fatigue, of four exercise modalities, one based on the traditional aerobic training methodology, another based on high-intensity interval training (HIIT), another consisting of aerobic exercise performed in conjunction with an immersive virtual reality (VR) application, and a last one consisting of exercise with HIIT-type parameters but also performed in conjunction with an immersive VR application.
All participants will complete one session of each of the four exercise modalities, analyzing the variables studied in each for subsequent analysis and comparison.

Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, measured with a sphygmomanometer
| During the 5 minutes after finishing the exercise session of each intervention modality (Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 from the start of the study) |
| Perception of effort | Individual perception of effort during exercise, assessed with a modified Borg scale (0-10), where 0 is "no effort" and 10 corresponds to the "maximum possible perception of effort". | During the first minute after finishing the exercise session of each intervention modality (Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 from the start of the study) |
| Perception of fatigue | Individual perception of fatigue, with a numerical scale from 0 to 10, where 0 is "no fatigue" and 10 corresponds to the "maximum perception of fatigue possible" | During the first minute after finishing the exercise session of each intervention modality (Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 from the start of the study) |
| Physical performance | Physical performance, assessed by calculating the sets, repetitions and kg mobilized during the exercise time. | During the 5 minutes after finishing the exercise session of each intervention modality (Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 from the start of the study) |
