They performed a daily 90-minute Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST) for 6 consecutive days. Maximal voluntary contraction torque of the knee extensors (KEs) and flexors, muscle soreness, plasma creatine kinase activity, countermovement jump, and several other performance measures (eg,\u00a030-m dash, Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1) were taken before the first LIST, 1 hour after each LIST, and 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120\u00a0hours after the last LIST. All participants received a 30-minute FIR or sham treatment on KEs and knee flexors, respectively, at 2 hour after each LIST and 25, 49, 73, and 97\u00a0hours after the last LIST. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> All measures changed significantly (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05) at 1 hour after the first LIST without difference (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.05) between groups.
