NCT ID NCT07224646
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether whole-body photobiomodulation (a type of light therapy) helps professional soccer players recover faster, reduce muscle soreness, and improve performance during an 8-week championship. Twenty-four male players aged 18-35 will receive either the light treatment or a sham (fake) treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can ease muscle fatigue and enhance strength and jump height.
