The protocol this study used
What the authors concluded
PBMT at 152 J applied 30 min or 6 h before cycling at severe-intensity did not alter resting plasma nitrite and blood flow velocity in the femoral artery, exercise-induced physiological responses, or time to exhaustion in healthy untrained men.
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 0.4 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.
