The sample of this controlled trial was composed by 20 volunteers
selected by inclusion criteria such as being a faculty female
student, with a body mass index ranging from normal (18.5–
24,99) to pre-obese (25–29.9) (WHO, 2006) and taking oral contraceptives.
Those who practiced regular physical activity or had
it as a contraindication were diagnosed with a pathology that
could influence lipid metabolism, smoked or consumed alcohol regularly,
and those who presented any contra indications to microcurrent
(Kirsch, 2002) were excluded. Volunteers were divided randomly into
the intervention group (IG) and the control group (CG).
