Håvard Bentdal Ingvaldsen is one of Norway's leading athletes and one of the world's fastest 400-meter runners. In just a few years, he has established himself in the international top class and represents Norway in top-level championships.

His big international breakthrough came in 2023, when he ran to a strong 6th place in the World Championship final in 400 meters in Budapest, while also setting a Norwegian record with a time of 44.39. Ingvaldsen also has gold from the U23 European Championship and the European Team Championships, bronze from the U20 European Championship, several Nordic titles and a total of 11 Norwegian National Championships gold medals.

Sprinting at the top level places extremely high demands on training volume, explosiveness, recovery and injury prevention. As an ambassador for QWave PBM Pro, Håvard actively uses light therapy as part of his recovery routine to withstand the high load and perform at the top level.

When my body is subjected to hard and explosive training, QWave PBM Pro products are a perfect way to jumpstart recovery. I use them almost daily between sessions to prevent injuries and recover faster.

With the help of QWave PBM Pro, I am better prepared for my next workout and can perform at a higher level. The products are easy to use and easy to carry, which makes them very practical. I use them mostly on my legs, as they are the ones that are most stressed. The pads are easily attached around the thighs and calves, and both red and infrared light make the treatment effective.

In my sport, a few hundredths can make the difference between gold and silver, and then QWave PBM Pro's products can be what gives me that little extra needed to reach the top.
