How Sunlighten® Saunas Can Help with Muscle Recovery and Athletic Performance

Are you a competitive athlete or weekend warrior who aims for longevity in your sport? If
your goal is to stay on top of your game for as long as you can, then you probably know
how important it is to stay on top of proper muscle recovery.
One of Sunlighten’s infrared saunas for home could be one of your secret weapons. Find
out why muscle recovery is important and the benefits of infrared light for muscle
recovery here.

Understanding Muscle Recovery
When building muscle and improving your athletic performance, you physically and
mentally experience the benefits of your hard work over time. Building muscle increases
strength, boosts metabolism, reduces risk of injury, improves bone density, and helps
with excess body fat. But equally crucial and often overlooked is the importance of
recovery or downtime between training sessions. This critical time is when your body is
healing tissue damage, building muscle, and restoring your energy levels.
Benefits of Infrared Light for Muscle Recovery

Heat by itself is great for recovery, temporary pain relief, and reduction in inflammation.
Infrared light is even better because it heats your body from within and can penetrate
further down into the joints, muscles, and tissues while increasing circulation and blood
flow.

For proper healing, good circulation is critical. Red blood cells supply oxygen and
nutrients to strained or inflamed points, which helps create new blood vessels and
tissues to those points. The more red and white blood cells delivered to muscles, the
quicker they can rebuild.

Sunlighten’s Patented SoloCarbon® Far Infrared Heaters

Whether you get a Solo® System portable infrared sauna or a full spectrum infrared sauna
from Sunlighten, the company’s patented SoloCarbon far infrared (FIR) heaters have been
found to be 99% effective in terms of FIR absorption into the body. Sunlighten’s 3 in 1®
mPulse® is the only sauna with all three wavelengths in the optimal range in one heater.

FIR heat improves recovery in neuromuscular performance during intensive training
associated with the increase in the testosterone/cortisol ratio, according to a 2015
Journal of Athletic Enhancement study looking at the Effects of Far Infrared Heat on
Recovery in Power Athletes. Also, deep penetration of infrared with mild temperature and
light humidity (vs. traditional saunas) appears favorable for the neuromuscular system to
recover from endurance performance. You can learn much more about this study and
read about recovery for athletes on Sunlighten’s website.
