InfraStar bike

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

InfraStar bike is a type of fitness equipment developed in 1980s that integrates the physical activity of stationary cycling with the therapeutic effects of infrared heat therapy.[1][2] InfraBike is used to facilitate weight loss, cardiovascular health, and muscle recovery.[3][4][5]

Overview

[edit]

Infrastar bike is designed as an infrared exercise bike that allows to lie down to pedal.[6] First models were developed in late 1980s.[7][8][9] The temperature inside the device is maintained at 50° to soften the muscles, make them more receptive to exercise, and also to remove toxins.[10][11] This recumbent bike stimulates heart rate and thus strengthen the entire cardiovascular system. InfraStar bike helps to burn fat and gain muscle mass. At the same time, infrared rays are dispersed to improve circulation, such as a feeling of heaviness in the legs or varicose veins.[12][13][14][15]

The InfraStar Bike is particularly popular in fitness centers, wellness clinics, and physical therapy settings.[16][17][18]

Technology

[edit]

The InfraStar bike is a recumbent infrared exercise bike, allowing users to lie down while pedaling. The temperature inside the device is maintained at approximately 50°C. Infrared rays stimulate blood circulation, alleviate sensations of heaviness in the legs, and may provide relief for conditions like varicose veins. Regular use is associated with increased fat burning and muscle mass development.[19][20][21]
