How KYMIRA Works
The quick version...
1. Infrared ceramics in the fabric re‑emit your body heat as far‑infrared (FIR) light, penetrating deep into the tissue.
2. FIR stimulates nitric oxide (NO) for vasodilation → greater local blood flow & oxygen delivery & waste removal.
3. Clinical studies show improved transcutaneous tissue oxygenation, microcirculation, mitochondrial efficiency / ATP Production within 30–90 minutes. In fact you can see it working with 30 seconds under a capillary microscope.
Result: better performance, faster recovery, improved sleep, passively, just by wearing KYMIRA infrared.

Preparation / Priming / Injury Prevention
- Goal: Arrive “switched on,” reduce soft‑tissue risk, and feel ready.
- How to wear: Put on targeted KYMIRA® layers 30–90 minutes pre‑session to prime tissues (leggings, base layer, socks). 90 minutes reaches the optimal working effect.
- What to expect & measure
Warm‑up feels quicker; reduced stiffness.
Wearables: note pre‑session HR (lower with same RPE) and skin temp stability where available.
- Quick trials (team or personal):
CMJ (counter‑movement jump) pre vs. post priming week.
Take‑off velocity / eccentric RFD when instrumented (force plate/app).
Subjective readiness (VAS 0–10) and Borg CR‑10 for perceived effort.
KYMIRA® has shown improvements in jump metrics and neuromuscular efficiency in controlled testing (CMJ, take‑off velocity, eccentric rate of force).

Your 2 Week Committed Trial
(Easy Start Plan)
We recommend a committed 2‑week trial to establish habit, see first adaptations, and capture measurable change. (Teams often extend to 30 days for full validation.)
Kit: Base layer top, leggings (or shorts), socks; add sleepwear if available.
Daily Protocol
- AM: Wear KYMIRA® 30–90 min before your first session; keep on during training.
- PM: Wear 2+ hours post‑session; sleep in KYMIRA® sleepwear.
- Travel days: Keep KYMIRA® on door‑to‑door.
Baseline (Day 0)
- Wearables: 7‑day averages for HRV, RHR, sleep efficiency/REM/deep, recovery/readiness.
- Field tests: CMJ (3 best of 5), grip strength, submax effort set (e.g., 3‑min bike at set HR; capture watts).
- Subjective: DOMS VAS, Borg CR‑10, readiness VAS, and mood.
Checkpoints
- Day 7: Look for HRV ↑ / RHR ↓, better sleep metrics, lower DOMS, higher perceived freshness; re‑test CMJ/grip if possible.
- Day 14: Repeat full baseline battery. Expect quicker bounce‑back within 24–48 h and improved neuromuscular markers vs. pre‑trial.
- Quarter 1: Review personal best outcomes, training adaption quickening, injury and niggle occurance.
Evolution
Continue to deploy and utlise KYMIRA infrared in all areas of your training ecosystem for optimal results ongoing results, training, performance, recovery and neuromuscular adaptions, and to maintain injury reduction risk.
What to Measure
Objective
HRV / RHR / Readiness (mRSI proxy): via Whoop/Oura/Garmin; expect early HRV improvements with consistent use.
Neuromuscular: CMJ height, take‑off velocity, eccentric RFD at 24–48 h; KYMIRA® recovery shows significant improvements vs. placebo.
Oxygenation: tcPO₂ trends when available; improved microcirculation demonstrated in clinical results.
Performance strain: Power or pace at fixed HR, grip strength.
Subjective (pair with objective)
DOMS VAS, Borg CR‑10 after key sessions, Readiness VAS AM, sleep quality rating. (We see the objective+subjective pairing is particularly powerful.)
Why Measure Objective & Subjective?
We find pairing objective and subjective measurements particularly powerful when assessing KYMIRA Infrared.
Although it can be seen within 30 seconds under a capillary microscope, athletes hit personal bests on first wears (a soon to be peer-reviewed study from Loughborough University shows athletic performance can be accelerated up to 8.7% from first wear), and improvements tracked within days and weeks.
The optimum use of KYMIRA Infrared is to gain the long term performance, training adaption, and injury reduction benefits through an accumulative acceleration and escalation of cellular functioning processes within your body.
What is significant about KYMIRA Infrared, is that the product is objectively, and biologically helping that to happen. To help form habitual change of using your KYMIRA Infrared, and to help validate it personally, we find utilising a subjective measurement with users highly useful.
“Using KYMIRA, I held my highest 60‑minute all‑time power… and the next day… set my all‑time best 90‑minute power… It should have been physically impossible.”

Why KYMIRA® vs. Common Methods?
1. Always‑on, zero‑effort protocol—works during daily life, training, sleep, and travel; high compliance in athletes.
2. Clinically supported outcomes: blood flow & tcPO₂ up; significant neuromuscular recovery benefits at 24–48 h; reduced oxygen cost during exertion. Read the full 10+ peer-reviewed study list here
3. KYMIRA Infrared utilises medically recognised materials with established device classifications. Your safety and the product's effectiveness is assured.
KYMIRA Product Interchangeability
Same Technology, Different Applications: Every KYMIRA garment is powered by the same advanced infrared technology, delivering benefits like improved circulation, enhanced oxygenation and natural pain‑relief effects whenever they’re worn.
Performance Range: Engineered for exercise with supportive fits, high breathability, abrasion resistance and full opacity—ideal for high‑intensity movement and confident training.
Recovery Range: Designed for comfort and all‑day or overnight wear, using softer, lighter fabrics with a more relaxed fit—perfect for unwinding, travelling or aiding post‑exercise recovery.
Wear Them Your Way: Though optimised for different settings, all KYMIRA products are interchangeable to your preference—just as many athletes train in recovery leggings or travel in sleepwear. The technology stays the same; how you use it is what changes.
