A guy recovered from an ankle sprain ten times faster using red light therapy. Red light stimulates mitochondria to boost cellular energy and repair. A study of 14 female athletes in China found it improved sleep, melatonin, and performance over 14 days.
Red light has been a staple when it comes to recovery and injury prevention or helping me get back from an ankle sprain. One of the main things I noticed when using red light therapy with the sprained ankle is that I recovered 10 times faster. And it's not some focus focus stuff, it's actually science. The red light jolts the mitochondria, which is your energy, and makes it speed up and recover faster. There are many other cases you can use it for as an athlete. Even Holland uses it for simulating sunlight. So there was actually a study published on PubMed that 14 female athletes located in China did red light for 14 days, and they found that it increased their sleep, increased their melatonin, and increased their athletic performance. So maybe try the red light out.
