far-infrared exposure reduces exercise-induced muscle damage symptoms in trained runners
FIR therapy (whole-body FIR sauna) reduced symptoms of exercise-induced muscle damage in highly-trained runners after a simulated trail running race.
What this means for you
Hard workouts break down muscle tissue, leaving you sore and slower to bounce back. Far-infrared's deep-penetrating warmth appears to speed up the recovery window — meaning less downtime between sessions and a faster return to feeling strong. For anyone who trains regularly, that kind of recovery support adds up.
