Effects of Infrared-LED Illumination Applied During Treadmill Training in Postmenopausal Women
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Photon stimulation by light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and Treadmill training for Healthy. Completed, enrolled 45 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The investigators hypothesis is that the infrared-LED illumination during treadmill training can enhance physical performance in postmenopausal women. The basis for such a hypothesis is based on the fact that the light therapy during the intense metabolic stage caused by exercise may be more efficient.

Timeline
Interventions
Treadmill training with the application of the phototherapy was performed twice a week for 6 months, each session lasting 45 min at intensities between 85% and 90% maximal heart rate. The average power and power density on the skin were 100 mW and 39 mW/cm2, respectively. The treatment time was 45 min bilaterally in both thighs. These parameters led to an approximate fluence of 108 J/cm2.
Treadmill training without the application of the phototherapy was performed twice a week for 6 months, each session lasting 45 min at intensities between 85% and 90% maximal heart rate
