Acute Photobiomodulation by LED Does Not Alter Muscle Fatigue and Cycling Performance.

What the authors concluded

Based on our findings, the PBMT at 260 J and 130 J doses does not have a beneficial effect on muscle fatigue, cycling performance, metabolic parameters and muscle activity in male recreational cyclists." Comment: The wording for the randomization process was: "Two separate studies were performed, both in a pseudorandomized and balanced, crossover design.

Devices that emit this wavelength

Matched on wavelength within 15nm, since LED bins vary by roughly that much and a tighter match would be false precision. Where we have an irradiance figure, the session length is the time needed to reach this study's dose of 0.82 J/cm² at that intensity.

Matching a wavelength is not the same as reproducing a trial. Session times assume the device's published irradiance is accurate at the distance it was measured, which on brand-claim figures is often optimistic. Where a device publishes both a peak and an average we use the average, and where it publishes a falloff curve we use the lowest figure, so these times run long rather than short. Clinical protocols also control for spot size, contact and skin type in ways a home device cannot.
