Low Level Laser Therapy in Muscle Fatigue and Muscle Recovery

"Comparison of different dosages of a Low Level Laser applied in six different locations of the knee extensor muscles of the lower limb non-dominant before a strenuous exercise.~We performed stretching and warming up of the muscles involved, assessment of muscle pain, withdrawal of blood sample, test muscle function (MVC), application of dose of low level laser designated for each volunteer (0, 2, 6 or 10), performing eccentric contractions protocol in isokinetic dynamometer . After the protocol we evaluated muscle function, the DOMS, and blood analyzes in 1 minute, 1 hour, 24 hours, 48 hours 72 hours and 96 hours.~In a second stage, the optimal dose defined by the first part of the study will be tested in two different powers, 100 and 400mW. The study was repeated in two experimental groups using the optimal dose established and the powers of 100 and 400mW that was randomly distributed in groups."
