Endurance
KYMIRA Infrared technology has been shown to significantly improve endurance performance by optimising oxygen utilisation and reducing physiological strain during exercise. Clinical studies report reduced oxygen consumption during exertion, meaning muscles require less oxygen to produce energy, allowing athletes to sustain activity longer [Worobets et al., 2015].
In a soon to be published new clinical study by the University of Loughborough, they found that wearing KYMIRA Infrared sportswear for the first time led to a highly significant (P= 0.004) improvement in total work and average power during exercise to exhaustion. The maximum improvement noted was 8.7%.
KYMIRA accelerates aerobic system activation and reduces fatiguing metabolites, improving efficiency and delaying fatigue [Bond et al., 2026, pre-publication]. These effects are supported by increased mitochondrial and angiogenic signaling, which enhances energy production and promotes new blood vessel formation for better oxygen and nutrient delivery [Bond et al., 2026]. Together, these mechanisms contribute to improved endurance capacity, quicker recovery, and long-term performance adaptations.

Accelerated Sports Recovery & DOMS Reduction
KYMIRA Infrared technology accelerates post-exercise recovery and reduces DOMS by enhancing circulation, tissue oxygenation, and cellular repair processes. Clinical studies show significant improvements in recovery metrics at 24–48 hours post-exercise, including countermovement jump (CMJ) height, take-off velocity, and eccentric force restoration compared to placebo, indicating faster restoration of neuromuscular performance [Lever et al., 2025]. Infrared stimulation increases angiogenic and mitochondrial signaling, promoting efficient waste removal and repair of microdamage, which helps alleviate soreness and speed recovery. Athletes showed notably lower DOMS scores reported at 48 and 72 hours,[Bond et al., 2026]. Infrared wavelengths emitted by the fabric have been shown to boost cellular growth and repair by 140–210% (NASA LED program; FIR/IR wound‑healing studies), supporting faster healing and reduced inflammation in the micro-tears that create the feelings of DOMS.
Additionally, reductions in inflammatory markers and swelling further support quicker recovery timelines and improved readiness for subsequent training sessions [Gale et al., 2006; Gordon & York, 2009; Djuretic et al., 2021]. These combined effects make KYMIRA Infrared a powerful tool for athletes seeking to minimize downtime and maintain peak performance.

“KYMIRA is about the extra 5%, the quicker recovery for next day’s training and the increase in energy. It’s a difference that is noticeable.”

Sleep
Sleep
KYMIRA Infrared technology enhances sleep quality and overnight recovery by promoting circulation, reducing inflammation, and accelerating cellular repair while you rest. Infrared wavelengths stimulate nitric oxide (NO) production, improving vasodilation and oxygen delivery throughout the night [Gordon et al., 2018, 2019]. This passive recovery process requires no extra effort—simply wearing KYMIRA garments during sleep activates these benefits, unlike other recovery protocols that demand time and location commitment. Clinical evidence and applied case studies show improved sleep quality, reduced soreness, and faster recovery timelines when KYMIRA is worn overnight [KYMIRA.com; Lever et al., 2025]. Additionally, infrared stimulation accelerates cellular growth and repair by up to 140–210%, supporting tissue regeneration and reducing DOMS [NASA LED program; Toyokawa et al., 2003]. By combining pain relief, thermoregulation, and enhanced microcirculation, KYMIRA helps athletes wake up fresher, recover more completely, and maintain readiness for the next day’s performance.
A study with athletes from the University of Texas, found utilising KYMIRA infrared only during sleep, showed a 15.9% improvement in sleep quality, which correlated with a 15.8% improvement in fatigue and a 13.6% reduction in soreness. Wearers also report that they fall asleep faster, have less nighttime awakenings and wake up feeling more rejuvenated.

“At tournaments I wear KYMIRA® to bed to give me the best possible start to the following days competition. At competitions we can have three days back to back without much recovery time. Wearing them at night helps flush the legs out and promote repair, meaning I can start day two or three as if it was day one.”
