The World Cup final is finally among us.

While you’re still pondering just how Argentina pulled off their massive comeback against England earlier this week, consider this: professional soccer players have put their bodies through the ringer this summer as they played in extreme heat and potential dehydration concerns. Star players Ezri Konsa and Elliot Anderson both faced cramps in the quarterfinal from the fatigue.

Because of intense demands, recovery is key to keep their physiques in top shape.

We learned just how they keep coming back stronger each week. Semifinalists England and Argentina, along with the Netherlands, have been using Sunlighten infrared saunas and Ice Barrel cold therapy.

Contrast therapy (a hot-then-cold method) has been incorporated into soccer training facilities to expedite recovery and prevent muscle soreness.

According to a study published by the National Institutes of Health, this technique alleviates aching muscles, controls swelling and improves blood circulation.

You can now access the same recovery tools at home by shopping Sunlighten’s best-selling saunas.
