The essence of KYMIRA clothing lies in performance. Our patented KYnergy fabrics contain infrared technology that enhance a wide spectrum of physical capabilities. Research has proven infrared technology helps to improve grip strength [1] when worn during testing. The improvement of such a fundamental performance measure suggests that infrared would be effective at improving general strength when worn over more of the skin, because the results from the study show that proximity to the skin is a factor of the improvement.
This means the athletic fit of KYMIRA clothing ensures you’ll harness maximum benefit from the infrared technology.
The performance output benefits of infrared extend beyond strength improvement – the technology also significantly improves oxygen consumption during cardiovascular exercise. In a study using 12 male cyclists, infrared technology has shown to reduce oxygen consumption at lower cycling intensities compared to cyclists wearing other, non-infrared garments [2].
Elements of flexibility, mobility and pain management are addressed by the unique Nitric Oxide boosting capabilities of infrared [3]. Nitric Oxide is a vasodilator, which means it dilates blood vessels and leads to improved circulation. The additional blood flow makes the soft and connective tissues more pliable, flexible and mobile. This reduces the chances of injury and improves the mobility of the body, enhancing sporting performance.
We could list every facet of performance improvement linked to infrared, but it’d simply take too long. There is a large body of scientific research that we refer to in various articles on our blog, showing a link between infrared and an improvement in endurance, power, strength, flexibility and mobility, all of which are vital assets to an athlete.
