Delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) can emerge after strenuous exercise and leave muscles sore and weaker for days. A new meta-analysis asked whether targeted light-based therapy could reduce that soreness or preserve muscle strength during recovery. The evidence came from 13 randomized trials comparing photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT), applied before or after exercise, with sham light treatment. Muscle recovery was assessed using self-reported soreness, algometry, which measures the pressure at which pain is first felt, and peak torque, the greatest rotational force produced during a muscl... exercise muscle red light therapy tissue repair

The study followed 17,604 participants aged 45 years or older across 41 countries for an average of more than three years. Each person was randomly assigned to once-weekly semaglutide (target dose 2.4 mg) or to placebo. Researchers recorde... drug GLP-1 cardiovascular heart disease weight loss
