This study found that “Exposing skeletal muscle to single-diode and multidiode laser or multidiode LED therapy was shown to positively affect physical performance by delaying the onset of fatigue, reducing the fatigue response, improving postexercise recovery, and protecting cells from exercise-induced damage.” No wonder I love using light therapy before my mountain bike rides. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23672326/
