Light and ultrasound can be interesting alternatives to reduce abdominal fat. Thus, the main objective of this study will be to evaluate the effects of these isolated techniques and their association in subcutaneous abdominal localized fat. These techniques will be used adding muscle electrostimulation in all groups. A total of 40 female participants will be recruited at the university outpatient, which will be distributed among four experimental groups: light + sham ultrasound + electrostimulation; light sham + ultrasound + electrostimulation; combined treatment (light + ultrasound) + electrostimulation; sham combined treatment + electrostimulation. The treatments will consist of eight sessions, twice a week for a month, being 90 minutes per session.
