Rood licht therapie
Noorse voetballer Erling Haaland
De New York Times vermeldt dat de spits van Manchester City rood licht therapie gebruikt na zijn training en wedstrijden. De specifieke golflengte versneld het herstel van spieren en pezen en reduceert het zogenaamde DOMS, Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

Various wavelengths of redlight were utilised in different studies of administering the treatment on muscles in a pre-conditioning set up before a workout. It was found that there was not a significant effects noted with these wavelengths on muscle tissue recovery and repair. [1]
A study by Douris et al [2], using a Red Light device with 36 LEDs, and wavelengths of 660nms and 880nms, on the biceps brachii muscle after elbow flexion and extension, found that there was a significant effect on the reduction of DOMS after 48 hours.
​
When considering pre-conditioning of muscles, a study by Leal Junior et al [3], applied a light of 655nm on the biceps brachii before elbow flexion/extension. The light was applied at 4 points on the muscle and then a Maximum Voluntary Contraction was carried out. The number of repetitions and time significantly increased with the use of the red light as a pre-conditioning measure.
​
A muscular pre-conditioning routine was conducted by Leal Jr et al (2009) [4], with the Red Light at 830nm applied at 4 points on the biceps brachii. This was compared to a wavelength of 660nm, and 830nm, prior to MVC on a Scott bench [5]. There were significant differences found with the pre-conditioning in the mean and peak force generated, but significant differences were not seen with the different wavelengths. [5]
A study by Leal Junior et al [6], applied a pre-conditioning protocol on two points on the biceps brachii for 30 sec, with 5 laser diodes of 830nm in wavelength. It was found that an increased number of repetitions of biceps contractions could be achieved, with a decreased lactate level in blood, and a lower creatine kinase and C-reactive protein. [6] A similar result was found with the use of a device with 69 LEDs, with the wavelengths of 850nm and 660nm, on 1-site of the biceps brachii. [7]
Borges et al [8] looked at the post-exercise effects of 630nm wavelength of Red Light on eccentric elbow flexion and extension. It was seen to result in a reduction in DOMS, and a slower reduction in possible isometric force. A lower reduction in the decrease in range of motion was also noted overtime, after 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours, and 96 hours.
