Abstract

The effect of LED phototherapy on blood lactate level in the muscle was studied. A 450cm² large red and near infrared LED pad with its irradiance of 10mW/cm² was applied for 10 minutes to brachial muscle and quadriceps muscle of thigh to the participants before and after the Taekwondo contest. Blood samples from the participants were taken at 5 minutes after the competition and 10 minutes after the recovery. The test results showed that the LED therapy (LEDT) before and after the competition had a significant effect on the decrease of blood lactate level of the participants.
