==== Far-infrared saunas ==== Far-infrared saunas utilize infrared light to generate heat. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the body indirectly through the air or by conduction from heated surfaces, far-infrared saunas use infrared panels or other methods like a sauna blanket<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Far-Infared Sauna Blanket |url=https://saunablanket.net |last=Publishing |first=Sauna Blanket |website=Sauna Blanket |access-date=2022-05-14}}</ref> that emit far-infrared light, which is absorbed by the surface of the skin. The heat produced by far-infrared saunas is generally lower, making it more tolerable for people who cannot withstand the high temperatures of traditional saunas.<ref name="pmid19602651">{{cite journal | author = Beever R | title=Far-infrared saunas for treatment of cardiovascular risk factors: summary of published evidence | journal= [[Canadian Family Physician]] | volume=55 | issue=7 | pages=691–696 | year=2009 | pmc=2718593 | pmid=19602651}}</ref> Infrared heat penetrates more deeply into fat and the neuromuscular system resulting in a more vigorous sweat at lower temperature than traditional saunas.<ref name="pmid19602651" /> These effects are favorable for the neuromuscular system to recover from maximal [[Endurance training|endurance exercise]].<ref name="pmid26180741">{{cite journal | vauthors = Mero A, Tornberg J, Mäntykoski M, Puurtinen R | title=Effects of far-infrared sauna bathing on recovery from strength and endurance training sessions in men | journal= [[Springer Science+Business Media|SpringerPlus]] | volume=4 | pages=321| year=2015 | doi= 10.1186/s40064-015-1093-5 | doi-access=free | pmc=4493260 | pmid=26180741}}</ref>
