Study of the effects of Acupuncture on individuals who do not practice physical exercise

INTERVENTION: Randomized, double‐blind, longitudinal clinical trial. There were 24 participants, university students, randomly distributed into two groups (Laser and Control). Experimental Group (Laser): 12 volunteers, young adults, both genders, sedentary, received laser acupuncture treatment at the respective acupoints (F3, BP6, E36 and IG4) and had blood collected before and after laser treatment. Control group: 12 volunteers, young adults, both sexes, sedentary, received simulated laser acupuncture treatment at the respective acupoints (F3, BP6, E36 and IG4) and had blood collected before and after the simulated laser treatment. Each of the research volunteers was randomly selected to form the experimental group or the control group. The experiment was performed with laser applications twice a week for five weeks CONDITION: F01.145 Sedentary Behavior PRIMARY OUTCOME: Expected outcome 1: It is expected to find an average increase of 2 mg/dL in serum HDL levels Expected outcome 2: An average decrease of 5 mg/dL in serum LDL levels is expected Expected outcome 3: An average decrease of 5 mg/dL in serum total cholesterol levels is expected Expected outcome 4: An average decrease of 0.2 mg/dL in serum creatinine levels is expected Expected outcome 5: It is expected to find an average decrease of 5 U/L in serum AST levels Expected outcome 6: It is expected to find an average decrease of 5 U/L in serum ALT levels SECONDARY OUTCOME: No secondary outcomes are expected. INCLUSION CRITERIA: Healthy female and male people; over 18 years old; sedentary; that do not have pre‐existing metabolic changes; who have not previously applied acupuncture
