Interventions
An instructor trained in Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR; Kabat-Zinn, 1990) will conduct meditations lasting 15 to 30 minutes. The participants will have a mobile application designed ad hoc with the practice of the week so they can do it individually at home.
An aerobic and fitness trainer will conduct aerobic exercise lasting 15 to 30 minutes. The participants will watch it in a video platform. They will not be able to do anaerobic exercise like weight lifting. The intensity of the chosen exercise will be moderate, maintaining between 120-140 beats per minute.
