Randomized crossover, single acute session, unblinded (lights-off) sham: one 12-min whole-body red/near-infrared LED session raised resting energy expenditure from pre to post in women with obesity, with no change in substrate use. Normal-weight women also rose, so the effect is not shown to be obesity-specific. Acute pilot response only; mitochondria not measured.
