About

A total of 154 healthy young individuals will be recruited by purposive sampling method to participate in a randomized, single-blinded, sham-controlled study. Recruited participants will be randomly dividing into two groups, the Active high-intensity laser therapy (a-HILT) group, and the Sham high-intensity laser therapy (s-HILT) group. The treatment duration will be 10 minutes per session on both lower limbs for each day for 3 days/week for 2 weeks. Hamstring muscle length will be assessed at baseline, end of the 2-week post-intervention period.
