FIR, Far InfraRed can reduce muscle soreness after a hard workout

Sports injuries & DOMS* : Far InfraRed, FIR reduced muscle soreness 24–72 hours after a hard workout and accelerated recovery of jump length/power.



Summary of the research article:

FIR therapy can speed up recovery after intense physical exertion

A study on elite soccer players showed that FIR therapy provided faster recovery in both strength and performance compared to a placebo group.

After 48 hours, the players who received FIR treatment had regained full jump height and fitness capacity (CMJ & YYIR1), while the placebo group still had clear impairments.


Conclusion : FIR therapy significantly improved recovery after the match.
