简要总结
This study propose investigate the effect of cryotherapy and laser therapy in response to strenuous exercise-induced muscle damage on the biceps brachii muscle (muscle of the arms). All the individuals underwent to an strenuous exercise protocol (2 series of 10 contractions of non-dominant elbow flexors) and three assessments (pre, post and 48hr after the exercise), composed of pain sensation, measure of the strength and muscle activation.

研究组 & 干预措施
Cryotherapy
To the cryotherapy group a 1kg ice pack was strapped over the entire brachial biceps muscle and adjacent muscles of the arm under study using a bandage, and the application lasted 25 minute laser
干预措施: Cryotherapy (Other)
Laser therapy
The laser therapy group received laser application to the muscle belly of the non-dominant upper limb brachial biceps at four different points.
干预措施: Laser therapy (Device)
Control
The control group did not undergo any intervention and remained at rest for 25 minutes.
