Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
It’s expected to find a reduction of at least 10 mg/dL in glycemic levels after isolated irradiation of photobiomodulation (PBM) and after irradiation of FBM followed by physical exercise protocol.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Establish a dose-response curve for each variable studied and, furthermore, it’s expected to find improvement in the variables of cardiac output, blood pressure and cardiorespiratory capacity, especially in peak VO2, after photobiomodulation irradiation (PBM) with energy of 600J.
