How often can I use an infrared sauna as an athlete?

Depending on your training load, using an infrared sauna 3 to 5 times per week is generally recommended. During periods of intensive training, daily use can be beneficial, as infrared therapy does not require additional physical effort but can be a valuable complement to your training routine. It also allows you to incorporate a form of light cardiovascular stimulation through heat therapy, even on strength training days.

With regular use, your body also becomes more efficient at sweating and better adapted to heat, which may contribute to improved performance and endurance.
