Australian and Brazilian scientists investigated the effects of light therapy on exercise muscle fatigue in 18 young women.
Wavelength: 904nm Dose: 130J
Light therapy was administered before exercise, and the exercise consisted of one set of 60 concentric quadricep contractions.
Women who received laser therapy before exercise had “significantly reduced muscle fatigue” and “reduced ratings of perceived exertion.”
The light therapy “increased peak torque, time to peak torque, total work, average power, and average peak torque.”
