Effects of Phototherapy Plus Physical Training on Metabolic Profile and Quality of Life in Postmenopausal Women.

What the authors concluded

Physical training with or without phototherapy may improve metabolic profile. In addition, phototherapy together with treadmill training prevented an increase in subcutaneous fat and facilitated improved quality of life in postmenopausal women." Comment: This appears to be a secondary publication with same patients as in two other papers, but this is not explicitly mentioned in this paper (?).

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 108 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.
