InfraBike session — infrared and pedaling

Study #1 — Calorie Expenditure

×2-6

MORE CALORIES
BURNED IN 30-40 MINUTES.

That's 2-6 times more than a standard gym bike session. In conventional exercise, fat burning starts after 30 minutes — the time for body temperature to rise. InfraBike 'hacks' this system through the Metabolic Balance System : infrared raises body temperature from minute 3, immediately triggering type 2 energy consumption.

Physical effort

Resistance pedaling burns 300-400 cal/session

Thermo effect

Infrared heats deeply — Prof. Guyton: 1g of sweat = 0.580 kcal

Afterburn

Metabolism stays elevated for hours after the session

Source 1 Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), August 7, 1981 — Infrared thermotherapy alone burns up to 600 calories in 30 min. Pr Arthur Guyton demonstrated in 1956 that 1 gram of sweat requires 0.580 kcal — infrared multiplies sweating and thus energy expenditure.

Source 2 Möckel et al., German Medical Science (GMS), 2006 — Randomized controlled study of 40 women: infrared during exercise on an ergometer bike significantly improved localized fat reduction (waist, hips, thighs) vs cycling alone.

Source 3 20-week clinical trial, 64 women — The infrared + exercise group lost an average of 24 additional lbs of fat and gained more musculaire vs exercice seul.

TOXINS ELIMINATED
IN SWEAT.

Versus only 3% in regular sweat. Far infrared triggers deep sweating, different from exertion sweat. This sweat contains a higher concentration of heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum), endocrine disruptors (BPA, phthalates), and chemical residues.

With each session, the body purifies deeply. Skin regains its glow, complexion evens out, and the body functions better — naturally.

Source 1 Genuis et al., Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2011 — BUS Study (Blood, Urine, Sweat): sweat is an effective vector for elimination of certain heavy metals and toxins undetectable in blood or urine.

Source 2 PubMed, 2022 — Sweat produced under infrared sauna (wIRA) contains a higher concentration of toxic inorganic ions than sweat produced by l'exercice physique ou le sauna humide classique.

Study #3 — Skin & Cellulite

90%

OF CLIENTS
REPORTED IMPROVEMENT.

Far infrared directly stimulates fibroblasts — the cells that produce collagen and elastin. Skin microcirculation is activated, nutrients reach the skin better, waste is eliminated faster.

Result: firmer, smoother skin and a brighter complexion. Cellulite is visibly reduced with a measurable decrease in centimeters.

Source 1 Yonsei Medical Journal (South Korea) — Far infrared increases collagen synthesis in human fibroblasts, independent of the thermal effect.

Source 2 Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2005 — 90% of clients treated with infrared saw a visible improvement in their cellulite. Average reduction of 1.4 inches in thigh circumference, maintained at 1 year.

Source 3 Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006 — Measurable increase in collagen and elastin. Improvement in texture, roughness, and skin color in 100% of subjects.

Study #4 — Weightlessness

-80%

OF BODY WEIGHT
REDUCED DURING EXERCISE.

InfraBike uses a body weight reduction system that reduces perceived body weight during pedaling. Joints are protected, effort is comfortable, and even overweight, sedentary, or rehabilitation individuals can train effectively — from the very first session.

This is the same principle used by the world's leading rehabilitation centers for pain-free return to exercise.

Source 1 Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, 2010 — Body weight support systems using positive pressure significantly reduce musculoskeletal stress, enabling early mobilization and natural movement mechanics.

Source 2 PMC, 2021 — In clients suffering from osteoarthritis, the body weight support system significantly reduced pain while preserving kinematique de marche normale.

Source 3 PubMed, 2020 — In women aged 60-85, 8 weeks of body-weight-supported exercise more than doubled walking speed and significantly improved lower limb strength significantly.

Study #5 — Muscle Recovery

-55%

LESS SORENESS.
STRENGTH RECOVERED 3× FASTER.

Far infrared penetrates deep into muscles, increases blood flow and accelerates the removal of metabolic waste (lactic acid, creatine kinase). Muscle micro-tears repair faster.

Result: less muscle soreness, faster recovery, and the ability to train more regularly — pain-free.

Source 1 Chen et al., European Journal of Sport Science, 2023 — Infrared reduces muscle soreness by 55-60%, muscle damage markers (CK) by 45-89%, and accelerates strength recovery by 1-3 days.

Source 2 Ahokas et al., Biology of Sport, 2023 — In 16 basketball players, a post-exercise infrared sauna session improved neuromuscular recovery (jump, sprint) and significantly reduced muscle soreness.

Study #6 — Metabolism

+8%

VO₂MAX.
METABOLISM SUSTAINABLY ACTIVATED.

Training in heat (thermo-training) triggers deep adaptations in the body: blood volume expansion (+6.5%), cardiac output increase (+9%), aerobic capacity improvement.

Basal metabolism increases — meaning the body burns more calories every day, even at rest, even outside sessions. A lasting effect that amplifies with regularity.

Source Lorenzo et al., Journal of Applied Physiology, 2010 — 12 trained cyclists, 10 days of heat training (40°C). Result: +5% VO₂max in normal conditions, +8% in hot conditions, +6-8% time trial performance. Plasma volume expansion of 6.5%, cardiac output +9.1%.

Study #7 — Semi-Reclined Position

0

JOINT STRESS.
EXERCISE WITHOUT PAIN.

InfraBike's semi-reclined position isn't an aesthetic choice — it's a scientifically validated position. Pedaling in a reclined position reduces compressive forces on joints, eliminates back tension, and opens the hip angle for natural movement.

This is why the recumbent bike is the most-used machine in cardiac and orthopedic rehabilitation worldwide.

Source 1 International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy — Study EMG : recumbent cycling engages muscles as much as upright cycling (quadriceps, hamstrings, calves), but with significantly reduced joint stress.

Source 2 Journal of Biomechanics, 2024 — Semi-recumbent pedaling significantly reduces joint contact forces on knees and hips — ideal for people sufferant d'arthrose ou de douleurs articulaires.

Source 3 Clinical Rehabilitation, 2021 — Meta-analysis: the semi-reclined stationary bike relieves pain and improves motor function in patients with knee osteoarthritis.

Source 4 Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation — The recumbent bike is validated as a safe rehabilitation tool for cardiac and post-stroke patients. Reduced cardiovascular stress vs upright position.
