In a 2014 study, coaches were asked about the most common reasons for injuries in their particular sport. Unsurprisingly, poor training methods were identified as the main reason athletes experience injury [3]. As you’d expect, the coach’s solutions to this problem were multi-faceted, but included improving strength and flexibility of their athletes were two of the most popular.
For reasons we’ve already discussed, KYMIRA has been shown to improve these elements of fitness substantially. Improving blood flow to tissues is known to improve elasticity, contributing to strength and improvements. Interestingly, there is some early evidence that use of infrared can also help to attenuate the loss of strength post exercise [4]. This suggests it could start the recovery process quicker, meaning athletes would be more fully rested ahead of their next session, therefore reducing injury risk. This rather neatly helps to reduce the risks that coaches in the study identified as a main cause of injury in athletes.
