Effects of Graphene-Based Far-Infrared Compression Garments on Aerobic Capacity in Healthy Young Males: A Randomized Crossover Trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Advancements in sports materials have led to the creation of innovative fabrics aimed at enhancing athletic performance and reducing the risk of sports-related injuries. Graphene-based composite fibers, with superior far-infrared (FIR) emissivity, are emerging as a promising material in sportswear. This study explores the effects of graphene-based FIR compression garments on aerobic exercise capacity.

Results

A total of 15 healthy, recreationally active male university students (aged 18-25 years) participated in this double-blind, randomized crossover trial. Each participant completed two incremental treadmill tests while wearing either graphene-based FIR compression garments or control garments, with a 7-day washout period between sessions. Results showed signifi
