Article Synopsis
- Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) using LEDs was tested for its effects on endurance running and perceived exertion in recreational runners.
- Eighteen young adult runners took part in a crossover study, receiving different PBMT doses before a 5-km run, with measures on performance and RPE collected during the trial.
- The results showed no significant improvements in running velocity or RPE across the different treatment doses, suggesting PBMT is not effective for enhancing endurance performance in this context.
