Athletic Performance, Exercise and Recovery – How Red Light Can Accelerate Athletic Outcomes

Red light, NIR and Athletics Performance 

Can red and near infrared light really influence athletic performance?

Here's why for anyone serious about athletic performance, recovery, exercise or health and well being needs to start thinking about using red and near infrared therapies.

The benefits of red and NIR therapy

Athletic Performance

Increased Energy and Fatigue

Red and near infrared light influences the Mitochondria, thus helps to maintain cellular health.

Any athlete knows that to perform at their best they need an effective efficient energy system, a healthy immune function, hormone production for performance, low inflammation and optimised sleep.

Each of these benefits can be potentially realised using light therapy.

Pre, during and post workout

Try light therapy pre and post workout. Not overlooking potential effects during workouts, effects have noted to power strength and endurance. I would suggest this is down to cellular health and optimised ATP production.

Some evidence has been found for Pre workout effects as well as the recovery benefits in adaptation from exercise. The holistic influence can then be actualised into athletic performance for muscle, strength and power gains.

Recovery and repair

Acting at the cellular level, the NIR light can reach deep tissue to help with muscle repair. In a different function, Red light has been found to help in the acceleration of wound healing also.

The added benefit of the influence on sleep, where the body rests, recycles and recovers, super charges the recovery and repair process.

Adding up the benefits and the compound effects can catapult athletic performance simply and can't be overlooked.

Why You Should Care

Many search for pills and injectable oils, whilst others know there's a better way. Come to the light. Whilst other potential solutions may help for a little while, ultimately it's all about sustainable health.

Red and near infrared therapies are non evasive and there's no study to show of any kind of over dose or onerous effects if used optimally. There is however the point of diminishing returns, where users actually waste their time as after around 20 minutes at the specific wave lengths that some devices provide, no further benefit can be had.

Start your treatment anytime, anywhere (with power socket)and start boosting Athletic Performance, health and well being.
