Brief summary

Interventional study of the effectiveness of peripheral magnetic stimulation of the abdominal wall muscles in healthy individuals.

Detailed description

Interventional 8-week study of the effectiveness of peripheral magnetic stimulation of the abdominal wall muscles in healthy individuals. The study will include an experimental and a control group.

Interventions

DEVICEExercise with peripheral magnetic stimulation of the abdominal wall muscles

8-week exercise program with peripheral magnetic stimulation, focused on abdominal wall muscles aiming to reduce subcutaneous fat, increase abdominal wall muscle strength and improve sitting postural control.

OTHERExercise of the abdominal wall muscles

8-week exercise program focused on abdominal wall muscles aiming to reduce subcutaneous fat, increase abdominal wall muscle strength and improve sitting postural control.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Change in subcutaneous fat	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after baseline measurement	Subcutaneous fat thickness in the abdominal area measured via ultrasound
Change in maximum isometric peak torque	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after baseline measurement	Maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the abdominal muscles. The measurement will be normalized to the body weight (Nm/kg).
Change in sitting postural control	Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after baseline measurement	Sitting on an unstable surface for 30 seconds
