Research Projects:

Research Project: “Effect of Phototherapy on Adaptation to Repeated Exercise”

Description: Individuals undergoing exhaustive training may experience muscle damage accompanied by inflammatory changes, oxidative stress, and performance loss within 24 to 72 hours after exercise. Previous studies have shown that repeating the same exercise results in a diminished response to the signs and symptoms associated with muscle damage. This protective phenomenon of repeated exercise is related to neural, mechanical, and cellular adaptation to the physiological stress caused by the initial exposure to exercise. The aim of this project is to evaluate the effect of repeated intense aerobic exercise on inflammatory markers and oxidative stress, as well as to investigate the action of phototherapy on muscle injury. The project involves the use of 70 male Wistar rats, each weighing approximately 300g, divided into seven groups of 10 animals. The control group will not undergo swimming exercise or LED therapy. Two groups (T1 and T10) will undergo one swimming test and will be sacrificed after 24 hours and 10 days, respectively. Two groups (T1 LED and T10 LED) will undergo one swimming test with post-test phototherapy and will be sacrificed after 24 hours, while the other T10 LED group will be sacrificed after 10 days.
