Clinical Trial Summary

Recent studies with photobiomodulation therapy have shown positive results in delaying skeletal muscle fatigue and improving performance through levels of biochemical markers and variables related to exercise when this therapy was applied before exercise. Some studies suggest that photobiomodulation therapy has systemic effects, but it is not known whether therapy exerts any systemic effects on human skeletal muscle. With this factor in mind, this research aims to verify the local and systemic effects of phototherapy on muscle performance and recovery after exercise in healthy male participants. This research consists in a randomized, triple-blinded, placebo-controlled trial, with participation of 30 healthy subjects. Will be analyzed parameters related to exercise performance (peak torque in the maximum voluntary contraction test- MVC), delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) by visual analogue scale (VAS), and biochemical marker of muscle damage (CK) and blood Lactate (BL). The analysis will be performed before exercise protocol (baseline), after 1 minute of the exercise, and 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the end of exercise protocol


Description:

A total of 30 healthy male non-athletes, between 18-35 years, will be randomly divided into 3 experimental groups, named "Placebo (Control)", "Local", "Systemic", according to the lower limb who will receive photobiomodulation therapy. Firstly, a blood collection will be performed by a nurse with sterile and disposable materials for posterior analysis of creatine kinase (CK) and Blood Lactate (BL). Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) will be assessed with the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) using a 10 cm line. Participants will be instructed to mark the line where their pain best fits at that time (0=no pain, 10=worst pain).Then, the maximum voluntary contraction test (MVC) will be performed, which will consist in performing 3 times of 5-sec isometric contractions of the non-dominant knee extensors in the isokinetic dynamometer device. During the execution of the MVC, the participants will be verbally encouraged to exert the greatest force at that moment. Photobiomodulation therapy will be applied 2 minutes after the MVC test in six points of non-dominant anterior thigh muscle. After irradiation, participants will perform the protocol of eccentric contractions. This protocol will be performed to induce muscle fatigue by resisting the movement of knee flexion in 5 series of 15 repetitions with 30 seconds -intervals (eccentric contractions). Assessments (blood collection, VAS and MVC) will be performed before warm-up (baseline), 1 minute after exercise protocol and 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after eccentric exercise protocol.

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Maximum Voluntary Contraction An isokinetic dynamometer (System 4, Biodex®, USA) will be used to assess muscle function and also for exercise protocol. Immediately after warm-up, volunteers will perform the maximum voluntary contraction test (MVC). Volunteers will be placed on the isokinetic dynamometer seated with a 100° angle between trunk and hip, and the non-dominant leg will be positioned to 60° knee flexion (0° corresponds to the total knee extension) and attached to the seat of the dynamometer through a belt. Volunteers will also be attached to the dynamometer seat through two straps on their trunk. MVC test consists of three isometric contractions of non-dominant lower limb knee extensors with a duration of 5 seconds and 30-second intervals between contractions, the highest torque value obtained at the three contractions (peak torque) will be used for statistical analysis. baseline
