Interventions

Low level laser therapy DEVICE

Low level laser therapy protocol - The low level laser therapy protocol was performed in dorsal decubitus, with the head elevated at 45º. The electrodes were placed in line, in the abdominal region. The low level laser therapy device has a length of about 940nm, using 8 pads, which have 64 diodes, each one with 100mW. The duration of the application was established in 8 minutes.

Experimental group 1

Aerobic Exercise DEVICE

Aerobic exercise protocol - 50 minutes of aerobic moderate-intensity exercise (45-55% of reserve heart rate) using Karvonen´s formula, performed on a cycloergometer. The duration of the exercise was divided into three parts: warm-up (from 0 to 5 minutes); body (from 5 to 45 minutes); and cooling (from 45 to 50 minutes). The entire protocol was monitored through the Polar® brand cardiofrequency and watch.

Experimental group 1; Experimental group 2

Low level laser therapy without power DEVICE

Low level laser therapy protocol - The low level laser therapy protocol was performed in dorsal decubitus, with the head elevated at 45º. The electrodes were placed in line, in the abdominal region. The low level laser therapy device has a length of about 940nm, using 8 pads, which have 64 diodes, each one with 100mW. The duration of the application was established in 8 minutes. In this group low level laser therapy device was switched off.
