Effects of photobiomodulation therapy combined with static magnetic field on training adaptations and detraining responses: a randomised placebo-controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Although photobiomodulation therapy combined with static magnetic field (PBMT-sMF) has demonstrated benefits for enhancing performance and recovery when applied before or after exercise sessions, its effects on adaptations during periods without training after strength training protocols remain unexplored. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the effects of PBMT-sMF on the maintenance of muscle strength and structural properties of the quadriceps during a 4-week detraining period following a 12-week resistance strength training programme.

Methods

In this triple-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial, 48 healthy men were randomised to one of four groups: PBMT-sMF during both training and detraining, PBMT-sMF during training and placebo during detraining, placebo du
