Participants performed a aerobic training. Ninety-six subjects practice a regular aerobic exercise program on a treadmill was applied 3 times a week for 12 weeks,each session lasting 30 minutes, ranging between 70-80 % of maximum heart rate intensity and the evaluations are done monthly through a maximum progressive exercise protocol. Phototherapy, active or placebo, were applied in 9 different points of quadriceps,6 points in the posterior thigh and two points in the gastrocnemius muscle, depending the group randomized, before and after each training session.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time until exhaustion
Time Frame: change from baseline in the time until exhaustion at 12 weeks
ergoespirometry
change from baseline in the time until exhaustion at 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum consumption of oxygen VO2
Time Frame: change from baseline in the Maximum consumption of oxygen at 12 weeks
ergoespirometry
change from baseline in the Maximum consumption of oxygen at 12 weeks
Body fat
Time Frame: change from baseline in the body fat at 12 weeks
skinfold
change from baseline in the body fat at 12 weeks

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 1, 2016

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
