Can Pre-Exercise Photobiomodulation Improve Muscle Endurance and Promote Recovery? A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. 2024.
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
Pre-exercise PBM with subgroup analysis by activity level; devices and dosing varied.
Selected outcomes
What the record reports
- Reported modest pooled improvements in endurance and selected recovery measures, with different findings across activity-level subgroups.
Required reading
Limitations
- Subgroup findings and heterogeneous protocols limit generalizability.
- The analysis does not establish an optimal full-body home-device setting.
