Filter by:This study will evaluate the safety and performance of the BTL-899 device for non-invasive treatment of subcutaneous fat. The changes in the fat tissue related to the activity of caspase-3 will be assessed histologically. The study is a prospective single-center single-blinded two-arm study. The subjects will be enrolled and assigned into two study groups; Group A which will receive active treatment and Group B which receives sham treatment and will serve as a control to verify the treatment outcomes. Subjects will be required to complete only one (1) treatment visit and three (3) follow-up visits (at 8 hours, 24 hours and 7 days post treatment). All of the study subjects will receive the treatment (either active or sham) with the subject device. At the baseline visit, health status will be assessed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria will be verified and informed consent will be signed. Punch biopsies from the treated abdominal area will be taken to examine the changes related to caspase-3 activity.
Exercise is the most effective way on reducing visceral adipose tissue (VAT), which is strongly linked with obesity to hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and insulin resistance. However, the current exercise dosage for reducing VAT cannot be accurately quantified. The aims of this study are to develop and test the optimal exercise dosage and sequence for reducing VAT in overweight and obese community residents. Purposive sampling will be used to enroll at least 206 participants aged 40-65 years and body fat more than 30% without diet control from 2 community centers in southern Taiwan. The project will use the sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design to conduct a 16-week 2-stage (each for 8-weeks) adaptive exercise intervention for community residents. In the first stage, participants will be randomized into groups performing 8 weeks either moderate intensity of aerobic exercise or interval training 3 times per week. Participants whose VAT does not decrease by over 3%, measured using a body composition analyzer, compared with the baseline will be 1:1 rerandomized into groups with aerobic exercise combined with resistance exercise or received the exchange of first stage treatment (interval training or aerobic exercise) in the second stage. Those with substantial response to the first-stage intervention (VAT reduction of more than 3%) will continue to receive the same exercise treatment until 16 weeks. Linear mixed model, weighted and replicated regression will be used to identify the optimal sequence of exercises for the greatest reduction in VAT. The findings can assist clinical health workers to develop exercise prescriptions for effectively reducing VAT, and help community residents reduce VAT through exercise to achieve the health promotion.
This study will evaluate the clinical safety and the performance of the BTL-899 device during the treatment of upper arms.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of green tea extract (GTE) on fat oxidation, body composition and exercise performance in overweight individuals. The study will be conducted under laboratory conditions following an 8 week supplemental period. Participants will be required to attend the laboratory for a pre-screening/familiarisation trial followed by assessments at week 0 (baseline), week 2, 4 and 8. Across the intervention, participants will maintain habitual dietary intake and follow a prescribed exercise programme. Additionally participants will be randomised to either a placebo, green tea extract or GTE with antioxidant supplementation. It is hypothesised that the addition of antioxidants with GTE will enhance fat oxidation in overweight individuals more than GTE or placebo. It is further hypothesised that such improvements in fat oxidation due to GTE will lead to improvements in both body composition variables and submaximal exercise performance (metabolic efficiency) in overweight, but otherwise healthy persons.
This study will evaluate the clinical safety and the performance of the BTL-785F system equipped with BTL-785-1 applicator for non-invasive lipolysis (breakdown of fat) of the abdomen and reduction in circumference of the abdomen. Safety measures will include documentation of adverse events (AE) during and after the procedures. Follow-ups visits at 1 month and 3 months after the final treatment will be held.
This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a simultaneous application of high-intensity focused electromagnetic procedure and radiofrequency energy for changes in subcutaneous fat tissue and muscle toning of thighs.
This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a simultaneous treatment by high power magnet and radiofrequency energy for toning of abdomen and reduction of subcutaneous fat. The study is a prospective multi-center single-blinded sham-controlled study. The subjects will be enrolled and assigned into two study groups; active and sham group. Subjects of both groups will be required to complete three (3) treatment visits and two to three follow-up visits.
This study will evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of a simultaneous treatment by repetitive pulse magnetic stimulation and radiofrequency energy for toning of abdomen and reduction of subcutaneous fat. The study is a prospective multi-center open-label single-arm study. The subjects will be enrolled and assigned into a single study group. Subjects will be required to complete three (3) treatment visits and two to three follow-up visits. All of the study subjects will receive the treatment with the subject device.
The purpose of this investigation was to examine the acute effects of consuming two different fitness drink formulas on the physiological response at rest and to exercise in healthy men and women.
It's evident that the literature shows good results on the use of aesthetic ultrasound in the treatment of localized fat, however, little has been explored so far, about possible psychological influences of this method and therefore, it is believed that it is pertinent to elaborate studies that include a placebo group, in order to measure the real effects from the exclusive application of ultrasound. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to verify the influence of the application of aesthetic ultrasound in the treatment of localized fat, using for both clinical, biochemical and functional parameters.
