Abstract Our aim was to investigate the immediate effects of of maximum cycling with a load of 7.5% of body weight,
bilateral, 830 nm, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on high and the measurement of blood lactate (BL) and creatine
intensity exercise and biochemical markers of skeletal muscle kinase (CK) levels before and after exercise. There was no
recovery, in a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, significant difference in the work perfOlmed during the
crossover trial set in a sports physiotherapy clinic. Twenty Wingate test (P>0.05) between subjeL'iS given active LLLT
male athletes (nine professional volleyball players and eleven and those given placebo LLLT. For volleyball athletes, the
adolescent soccer players) participated. Active LLLT (830 nm change in CK levels from before to after the exercise test
