Obesity
Conditions
Interventions
The main intervention of the study was whole-body electrostimulation, performed from a device called a Whole Body Electrostimulator, from the Brand MihaBodyTec of Germany. The procedure was performed
and 2.lunge exercise with elbow flexion. Along with whole-body electromyostimulation, heart rate variability data and metabolic data were collected during the exercises performed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It was expected to conclude that the whole-body electromyostimulation, in an acute way, could enhance the increase in cardiorespiratory capacity and cardiac autonomic modulation during physical exercise in the obese population. Through assessments of anthropometry, heart rate variability and ergometry associated with dynamic physical exercise, it was observed from the various study variables that it was observed that wholy-body elecmyotrostimulation, in acute way, did not enhance the effects of the exercises effects on cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiopulmonary capacity in individuals with obesity | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| In addition to the study of variables in the obese population, the same study was also done with eutrophic individuals. And as with the obese, the electromyostimulation of the whole body, in an acute way, did not potentiate the effects of the exercises effects on cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiopulmonary capacity in these individuals | — |
