Phototherapy improves cellular activation which is an important factor for the treatment of cellulite. The objective of this research was to develop and evaluate the effects of a new (noninvasive and nonpharmacological) clinical procedure to improve body aesthetics: infrared-LED (850 nm) plus treadmill training. Twenty women (25-55 years old) participated in this study. They were separated in two groups: the control group, which carried out only the treadmill training (n = 10), and the LED group, with phototherapy during the treadmill training (n = 10). The training was performed for 45 minutes twice a week over 3 months at intensities between 85% and 90% maximal heart rate (HR(max)). The irradiation parameters were 39 mW/cm(2) and a fluence of 106 J/cm(2). The treatment was evaluated by interpreting body composition parameters, photographs and thermography. This was primarily a treatment for cellulite with a reduction of saddlebag and thigh circumference. At the same time, the treadmill training prevented an increase of body fat, as well as the loss of lean mass. Moreover, thermal images of the temperature modification of the thighs are presented. These positive effects can result in a further improvement of body aesthetics using infrared-LED together with treadmill training.
光疗可改善细胞活化，而细胞活化是治疗橘皮组织的一个重要因素。本研究的目的是开发并评估一种新的（非侵入性且非药物性的）改善身体美感的临床程序：红外发光二极管（850纳米）加跑步机训练。20名女性（年龄在25至55岁之间）参与了本研究。她们被分为两组：对照组，仅进行跑步机训练（n = 10）；发光二极管组，在跑步机训练期间进行光疗（n = 10）。训练在3个月内每周进行两次，每次45分钟，强度为最大心率（HR(max)）的85%至90%。照射参数为39毫瓦/平方厘米，通量为106焦/平方厘米。通过解读身体成分参数、照片和热成像来评估治疗效果。这主要是一种治疗橘皮组织的方法，可减少臀腿赘肉和大腿围度。同时，跑步机训练可防止体脂增加以及瘦体重流失。此外，还展示了大腿温度变化的热成像图。这些积极效果表明，将红外发光二极管与跑步机训练结合使用可进一步改善身体美感。
