What the authors concluded
In Figure 2, data analysis demonstrated that both groups showed a significant increase of 21.7% (PG) and 24.8% (AG) in 1-MR after the strength-training program (p = 0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the experimental groups (p = 0.633)." "After the experimental period, the intragroup evaluation demonstrated a significant increase of 26.6% (PG) and 40.3% (AG) in the dist
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 250 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.
