Abstract

Skeletal muscle fatigue and recovery is a novel area of research in Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). Recent studies of our research group with phototherapy have shown positive results delaying skeletal muscle fatigue and improving the status of biochemical markers related to skeletal muscle recovery when these therapies were applied before exercise. However, several factors still remain unknown such as: optimal doses and treatment parameters, mechanisms, the effects in long-duration exercises and long-term effects in skeletal muscle recovery. With these in mind, the aims of this project are: To evaluate the long-term effects of LLLT in post-exercise skeletal muscle recovery, to identify the optimal dose of LLLT, to identify the optimal output power / irradiation time (from best dose), and to evaluate the effects of LLLT in skeletal muscle fatigue and recovery in long-duration exercise. It will be performed 3 randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials, with voluntary participation of high-level soccer athletes. We will analyze parameters related to volunteers exercise performance (muscular force / maximum voluntary contraction - MVC, VO2max and fatigue index), delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and biochemical markers of muscle damage (CK and LDH), inflammation (IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α) and oxidative stress (TBARS, CAT, SOD and carbonyled proteins). The analysis will be performed before exercise protocols, after 1 minute, and 1, 24, 48, 72 e 96 hours after the end of exercise protocols. (AU)
