Can Photobiomodulation Therapy Minimize Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. 2022.
This record summarizes category-level photobiomodulation evidence. It is not a clinical study of the rePretty Mat and should not be read as a product-specific treatment claim.
Protocol
What was reviewed or tested
PBM before or after exercise compared with placebo; protocols varied.
Selected outcomes
What the record reports
- Low-to-moderate certainty findings suggested changes in selected oxidative-damage and antioxidant biomarkers, but not all biomarkers.
Required reading
Limitations
- Only eight studies were included and several pooled outcomes were heterogeneous.
- Biomarker changes do not directly establish a consumer-perceived recovery outcome or product effect.
