Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study hypothesis is a decreased muscle damage induced by exercises when low-level laser therapy is applied on body muscles before exercises.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study assessed males submitted to exercise to induce muscle damage. Creatine kinase levels in blood was quantified in order to identify the magnitude of muscle damage.
