In addition to improving physical performance in a wide range of people and sports, research has shown that red light therapy can also improve muscle growth. Red light therapy popular in professional sports as well as training and fitness, as red light therapy has been repeatedly shown to improve physical function, enhance muscle mass and speed recovery. This is because our bodies rely on light as an energy source to help our glands regulate adrenaline, testosterone, metabolism and many other functions, and red light therapy has been shown to increase testosterone production, which in turn can improve overall energy levels and even improve peak muscle performance.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study using red and infrared light on the biceps demonstrated that peak and mean performance was more than 12% better than the control group. This is quite a remarkable result, so what is the best way to achieve these benefits?
Step one would be to book a session on one of our Mon Amie collariums. Not only will it help with muscle recovery, it has the added benefit of removing fine lines and wrinkles from head to toe! Step two would be to book a course which is cheaper or, once you’ve got used to the benefits, perhaps a monthly membership would be an even cheaper longer-term option. Don’t forget, if you want to see the improved muscle growth, you will need to do the strength training as well!
