Abstract
HIFT Versatility and the minimal need for equipment make it ideal for work environments where it can be implemented without significant interruptions in the daily routine. Therefore, it is concluded that, to date, no studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of HIFT on health markers or physical fitness in the administrative work population, representing a significant opportunity for research and preventive action in this area.
