Study: NCT01889784

Intervention type: DEVICE
Group type: OTHER
Intervention: Phototherapy through light emitting diode (LED) - 150J
Description: The near-infrared radiation by light emitting diode (LED) will be performed with a cluster multi-diode arranged in an array of 34x18 cm containing 50 LEDs (GaAlAs, 850 nm). The phototherapy will be applied bilaterally on femoral quadriceps and triceps surae muscles during 40 seconds with 3J of total energy for each diode and 150 J of total energy delivery to muscle. Neither subject nor evaluators will known if LED was effective or placebo during data collection. A hidden button in the LED device is employed to ensure the double-blind procedure. This button allows selecting placebo or effective emission of near-infrared radiation while the time display is working. This button will be selected by a researcher who just participated of randomization procedure and LED application and had no access to data collection.
