Clinical Trial Summary

high intensity focused electromagnetic technology's secondary effects are observed in the fat (adipose). within 8 h of a treatment session, apoptotic levels in adipose increased 91.7%.8 In addition, after the application of the high intensity electromagnetic technique, there is an increase in the rapid release of free fatty acids, so it can be used in weight loss

Description:

sixty obese males will be grouped to: first group (30 males) and second group (30 males). first and second groups will undergo dietary caloric restriction (i.e low calorie diet) and will be instructed to walk 10,000 continuous steps every day using the pedometer application for 3 months. only the first group will will undergo high intensity electromagnetic technique on abdomen of males which will be 3 sessions per week for 3 months
