About this study

Interventional 8-week study of the effectiveness of peripheral magnetic stimulation of the abdominal wall muscles in healthy individuals. The study will include an experimental and a control group.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • healthy adults
  • BMI between 25,0 and 29,9 kg/m2
  • stable body mass with maximal variation of body mass of 2.2 kg a month prior to the inclusion in the study
  • waist circumference above 80 cm for females and above 90 cm for males

Exclusion criteria

  • invasive fat reduction procedures (e.g., liposuction and mesotherapy)
  • weight loss supplements in the month prior to the participation in the study
  • metal implant
  • active implanted electrical device such as a cardiac pacemaker, cochlear implant, intrathecal pump, hearing aids, defibrillator, or drug delivery system

Treatment and study plan

Exercise with peripheral magnetic stimulation of the abdominal wall muscles

Device

8-week exercise program with peripheral magnetic stimulation, focused on abdominal wall muscles aiming to reduce subcutaneous fat, increase abdominal wall muscle strength and improve sitting postural control.

Exercise of the abdominal wall muscles

Other

8-week exercise program focused on abdominal wall muscles aiming to reduce subcutaneous fat, increase abdominal wall muscle strength and improve sitting postural control.

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in subcutaneous fat

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after baseline measurement

    Subcutaneous fat thickness in the abdominal area measured via ultrasound

  2. Change in maximum isometric peak torque

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after baseline measurement

    Maximal voluntary isometric contraction of the abdominal muscles. The measurement will be normalized to the body weight (Nm/kg).

  3. Change in sitting postural control

    Time frame: Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks after baseline measurement

    Sitting on an unstable surface for 30 seconds
