Abdominal adiposity is a cardiovascular risk factor; it is assumed that the combination of radiofrequency and physical exercise may decrease this excess of adipose tissue.
To analyze the effect of four intervention sessions on abdominal adipose tissue.
The study analyzes the effect of four sessions of aerobic exercise combined with radiofrequency. Participants were 28 healthy female volunteers, aged 18-28 years, randomly assigned to an experimental group and a placebo group. They were characterized by a sociodemographic questionnaire, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and the Food Frequency Questionnaire. The groups performed four sessions of abdominal radiofrequency followed by moderate aerobic exercise, assessing body mass, body mass index, fat mass, waist circumference, waist/height ratio, subcutaneous adipose thickness, and horizontal abdominal adipose fold at the first and fourth sessions. In the experimental group, a percentage of potency was used that allowed to maintain the temperature between 40°C and 42°C to the epidermis. In the placebo group, the power of the radiofrequency was 0 W. To compare results, Student's t test was used for a significance level of 0.05.
There was a statistically significant decrease in waist circumference, abdominal subcutaneous adipose thickness, and horizontal abdominal fold in the experimental group compared to the placebo group (P < 0.05).
Combined exercise intervention with radiofrequency has been shown to be effective in reducing abdominal adiposity.
腹部肥胖是心血管疾病的一个风险因素；人们认为，射频和体育锻炼的结合可能会减少这种脂肪组织的过度积累。
分析四次干预对腹部脂肪组织的影响。
本研究分析了四次有氧运动结合射频的效果。参与者是 28 名年龄在 18-28 岁的健康女性志愿者，随机分为实验组和安慰剂组。通过社会人口学问卷、国际体力活动问卷和食物频率问卷对他们进行了特征描述。两组均进行四次腹部射频治疗，随后进行适度有氧运动，在第一和第四次治疗时评估体重、体重指数、体脂量、腰围、腰高比、皮下脂肪厚度和水平腹部脂肪褶皱。在实验组中，使用了一个能使表皮温度保持在 40°C 到 42°C 之间的有效功率。在安慰剂组中，射频的功率为 0W。为了进行结果比较，使用了学生 t 检验，显著性水平为 0.05。
与安慰剂组相比，实验组的腰围、腹部皮下脂肪厚度和水平腹部褶皱均有统计学显著下降（P<0.05）。
结合射频的运动干预已被证明能有效减少腹部肥胖。
