1. A method for reduction of muscle fatigue caused by strenuous activity or exercise, comprising: irradiating a muscle of a subject with pulsed blue light having a wavelength that ranges from 380 nm to 560 nm, wherein the pulsed blue light comprises a plurality of light pulses each of which has a pulse duration that ranges from 5 microseconds to 30 microseconds, wherein an off time between the light pulses ranges from 10 microseconds to 100 microseconds, and wherein the pulsed blue light has an average irradiance that ranges from 0.1 mW/cm2 to 20 mW/cm2 and is provided at a radiant exposure that ranges from 0.5 J/cm2 to 60 J/cm2 to thereby reduce muscle fatigue associated with the muscle.
