Summary

The purpose of this study was to analyze microcurrent short term effects used with aerobic exercise on abdominal fat.

Conditions

  • Obesity, Abdominal

Interventions

DEVICE

Transcutaneous microcurrent

Microcurrent in the abdominal region with four transcutaneous electrodes in a parallel position, intensity below the sensitivity threshold and a maximum of 1 mA. Every 15 minutes changed from 25 Hz to 10 Hz.

DEVICE

Aerobic exercise

50 minutes of aerobic moderate-intensity exercise (45-55% of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max)) using Karvonen´s formula, performed on a cycloergometer. Were used Borg scale (12-13), Polar® heart monitors to control heart rate and K4b2 to analyze the quantity of oxygen (O2) consumption and carbon dioxide (CO2) produced during exercise.
