Brief Summary:
Special Operations Forces SOF train continually to maintain peak performance Thus they are nearly always in a state of recovery and in need of noninvasive therapies to address the taxing workload Photobiomodulation therapy PBMT is a noninvasive treatment where a low-level laser is applied to the body to enhance healing recovery and performance Army Tactical Human Optimization Rapid Rehabilitation and Reconditioning THOR3 provides a consistent avenue for implementation of PBMT as a modality Studies in athletes have shown performance and recovery benefits with pre-and post-workout focal application of PBMT While there is less evidence on the potential cognitivebehavioral effects of a systematic application of PBMT self-reported fatigue has also been found to be significantly lower in groups with focal PBMT application as compared to placebo Further PBMT research in healthy military tactical athletes is limited PBMT may be a promising tool for enhancing physical performance by accelerating musculoskeletal and psychological recovery in the SOF population The investigators aim to study the physiologic and behavioral effects of PBMT application post-exercise on performance in SOF Operators
The Intent The investigators propose to conduct a single-blinded randomized-control trial with sham control to investigate the effectiveness of providing PBMT post physical training in a SOF population
The specific aims of this study are to
1 Analyze and describe the physiologic effects if any of PBMT application post-exercise in Special Forces Operators undergoing coach-led training
2 Analyze and describe the behavioral effects if any of PBMT application post-exercise in Special Forces Operators undergoing coach-led training
3 Evaluate the overall clinical utility of focal PBMT subsequent to physical training in a US Army SOF tactical athlete population
