Summary

Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) involves applying non-ionizing forms of light from sources including lasers, LEDs, and broadband light, in the visible and near infrared spectrum, to the body to enhance performance, stimulate healing, modulate recovery, and improve health. The investigators will conduct a single-blinded randomized-control trial with sham control to investigate the effectiveness of providing PBMT in a military population, translating this cutting-edge research to application in the operational setting.

DEVICE

NovoTHOR XL Photobiomodulation Full Body Light Bed

Low powered full-body photobiomodulation light bed therapy will be administered via the NovoTHOR XL light therapy bed which emits an average irradiance of \~30 mW/cm\^2.

DEVICE

ARRC LED Photobiomodulation Full Body Light Bed

High powered full-body photobiomodulation light bed therapy will be administered via the ARRC LED light therapy bed which emits an average irradiance of \~75 mW/cm\^2.
