description: The increase in adipose tissue in the abdominal region is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, dyslipidemia and metabolic syndrome. According to the World Health Organization, 1.9 billion adults are overweight and more than 600 million are obese. Abdominal fat is also a factor that bothers male appearance, so several methods can be used in order to control weight, including behavioral therapies, diets, drug therapy, aesthetics and surgery. The number of men looking for aesthetic and cosmetic interventions grows approximately 10% per year. Among the aesthetic concerns is also the muscular flaccidity that acts directly on the adjacent tissues and facilitating the accumulation of fats. The Russian chain was created to fill a gap in aesthetic treatment, since used in combination with other therapies it favors satisfactory results with the increase of hypertrophy and muscular strength. In detriment to the desire to develop non-invasive methods to reduce local deposits of fatty tissue, the advancement of aesthetics is increasing in this sector, making studies necessary to prove the efficacy and safety of new therapies. The objective of the study will be to evaluate and compare the effects of combined therapy in a continuous and pulsed manner associated with excitomotor current through the Russian current in reducing localized fat in men, and its influences on the autonomic, cardiovascular and blood pressure systems. Data collection will be carried out in the clinical practices laboratory of the Universidade do Oeste Paulista (UNOESTE) - Campus 1. Participants will be informed about the objectives and procedures to be carried out in the present study, and will sign a free and informed consent form. The procedures used to carry out this work will be evaluated by the Research Ethics Committee of the Universidade do Oeste Paulista - UNOESTE / Presidente Prudente. This is an uncontrolled longitudinal and prospective intervention study. The inclusion criteria will be a male population, aged between 18 and 35 years and with an abdominal fold of up to 4 cm. Smokers, alcohol users, and users of medication that interfere with the cardiovascular and respiratory system, patients with known cardiovascular, pulmonary or metabolic pathologies, as well as any contraindications to the use of combined therapy and neuromuscular electrostimulation in the abdominal muscles, will not be included in the study. The two groups will be divided randomly, the first group will receive application of combined therapy continuously associated with excitomotor current through the Russian current (CBT + CR), the second group will receive application of combined therapy in pulsed mode associated with current excitomotora by means of the Russian current (TCP + CR).
