Can the Association of Low Intensity and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) improve the body composition of postmenopausal women?
Abstract
Obesity is an epidemic in this contemporary society. Non-pharmacological treatment standard takes into account the negative energy balance, which is the ratio of decreased caloric intake and increased energy expenditure. Exercise is the most effective strategy to promote the increase in total energy expenditure, which combined with phototherapy, is a very advantageous combination for the treatment of this disease. This study evaluates the low-intensity laser association with interval training high intensity in anthropometric improvement of post-menopausal women and their metabolic effect. We were selected 20 women aged from 50 to 55 years, body mass index between 30 and 34.9 kg/m2, divided into 2 groups, described as a control group (exercise + nutritional education - no incidence of light) and treated group (exercise + nutritional education + incidence of light). The exercise protocol consisted of aerobic exercise and resistance, intense and interval (80%-85% of maximum heart rate), duration of 30 minutes, 3 times per week for 8 weeks. The phototherapy consisted of red LEDs, wavelength 660nm, potency 50mW, intensity 17,7mW/cm2, 10 minutes of treatment time, 30 irradiated points, totaling 318J; applied to the abdominal region after exercise. The proposed treatment was effective, improving all anthropometric parameters analyzed and condition as a new methodology for improving quality of life.
