infrared thermal sessions show minimal core temperature rise — under 1°C in 40 minutes
A central body temperature increase of at most 1°C was observed during 40-minute infrared thermal blanket therapy at 50°C, with no statistically significant change in core temperature (P=0.359).
What this means for you
A core temperature shift of less than one degree suggests the body is working to regulate heat without being pushed into physiological stress. For most people, this points to a gentle, manageable thermal load — the kind that may support circulation and relaxation without the recovery burden of more intense heat exposure.
