Infrared Sauna After Training Speeds Recovery and Supports Athletic Performance
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
- Athletes using infrared saunas post-workout experience faster reductions in soreness, improved strength recovery, and better neuromuscular performance within 24 hours compared to passive rest
- Using infrared saunas immediately after exercise yields stronger results than delayed sessions, as it extends the body's natural repair window when circulation and metabolic signaling are elevated
- Consistent post-workout infrared sauna sessions over several weeks increase muscle thickness, explosive strength, and power output more effectively than training alone, especially for intermediate lifters
- Far-infrared saunas provide safer, more practical detoxification and circulation benefits, while near-infrared units risk burns and don't effectively deliver photobiomodulation benefits despite higher costs
- When using a sauna, begin at 120 degrees Fahrenheit three times weekly, gradually increasing temperature by two degrees weekly. Avoid overuse — start with daily sessions for 10 to 11 days initially, then every two to three days for maintenance
