Light therapy may speed up muscle recovery in futsal athletes
NCT ID NCT07511803
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a special light treatment called photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) can help female futsal athletes recover muscle function after high-intensity exercise. Fifteen women aged 18-35 who have played futsal for at least two years will receive either real PBMT or a placebo. Researchers will measure sprint performance and perceived effort to see if the light therapy improves recovery.
