Electrolipólise mediada por TENS e Microcorrente em associação com exercício físico

Introduction: The centripetal obesity may increase the risk of several pathologies. Objective: Explore if lipolysis, prompted by the electric current (electrolipolysis), would have an additional effect on physical exercise in the reduction of fat mass. Methods: 23 women were divided in three groups: Control, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) and Microcurrent. Results: In the experimental groups, there was an increase in the level of triglyceride (p 0,05) and several global and localized parameters was tendentially reduced. In the Microcurrent group, there was a decrease in abdomen skinfold (p>0,05). Conclusions: Electrolipolysis may have an additional effect on physical exercise in the reduction of fat mass in the global and localized form.
