The effect of low level laser irradiation on oxidative stress, muscle damage and function following neuromuscular electrical stimulation. A double blind, randomised, crossover trial

ConclusionsLLLT may protect from impairments in enzymatic antioxidant system and may shorten inflammation induced by a single NMES session in moderately active, healthy men. However, the effects of LLLT on redox state and inflammatory processes do not seem to affect muscle damage and recovery of muscle function after NMES.Trial registrationThe study was retrospectively registered in the Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ANZCTR); The trial registration number:ACTRN12619000678190; date of registration: 6 May 2019.
