Summary

Obesity is a chronic disease of increasing prevalence, being currently considered a global epidemic, including children, adolescents, adults and the elderly of different nationalities and ethnicities, socioeconomic levels, education levels. Non-pharmacological therapeutic interventions, such as physical exercise and fitness healthy eating strategies seem to be increasingly studied and recommended for healthy weight loss. In addition, therapies that can complement the effect of exercise and diet for reducing body weight are considerate important strategies. Thus, experimental evidence shows that the use of laser therapy combined with exercise swimming was effective in controlling the lipid profile, reducing the mass of adipose tissue, suggesting increased metabolic activity and changes in lipid metabolism. To investigate the effect of the use of therapeutic laser when associated to exercise like response to new therapy for weight loss and decrease of dyslipidemias levels.
