The scientists used an LEDT device from Thor on two points on the distal portion of the vastus lateralis, two points on the distal portion of the vastus medialis and two centered points along the rectus femoris (see Figure 1, right ). It may be partly my fault that most of you ask me for supplements to take to increase their performance and do not expect often not even consider the possibility of being told about technological items like a low-level laser diode device to up their gains or boost their fat loss... When I started this blog a few years ago, I was guilty of believing that supplements would be the most relevant ergogenics for anyone who trains, myself. Today, ~2,300 articles later, this has changed: don't get me wrong - supplements can be useful, but diet, training and - at least in a few cases - even things like using light emitting diode therapy (LEDT) or low-level laser therapy (LLLT) , as it is also called, are much higher on the "things that really work...

This is the first installment of the long promised yet often postponed SuppVersity series on Circadian Rhythmicity and how it impacts your physiology and psychology. Despite the fact that I eventually decided to spare you all the funky acronyms, clock genes and hardly legible names of at best incompletely understood feedback mechanism and complex switches I cannot forbear discussing a couple of fundamental principles to set the scene and ensure you understand what I am talking about, when I say "blue light" or "melantopic part of the spectrum".
