Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on recovery after high-intensity, intermittent exercises in female futsal athletes. It is hypothesized that PBMT is superior to placebo condition in improving the recovery of muscle function after high-intensity, intermittent exercises.
Detailed description
The aim of this project is to investigate the effects of photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) on recovery of muscle function after high-intensity, intermittent exercises in female futsal athletes. A crossover experimental studies will be conducted with 15 female futsal athletes. Participants will undergo two consecutive blocks (B1 and B2) involving the Bangsbo sprint test (BST) and the yoyo intermittent recovery level-1 (YYIR1) at two time points (M1 and M2), separated by a 2-week washout period. PBMT will be applied in the 10-minute interval between blocks B1 and B2. PBMT will be applied according to the randomization order at M1 and M2, so that the participant who receives active PBMT at M1 will receive placebo PBMT at M2, and vice versa. The following variables will be analyzed in the BST: (1) Best Time: the shortest time obtained in the sprints, (2) Total Time (TT): the sum of the time of all sprints, and (4) Fatigue Index (FI): the difference between the worst and best times. For the yo-yo test, the total distance covered will be analyzed as an indicator of aerobic performance. In addition, the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) will be measured immediately after each test in blocks B1 and B2.
