CELLIANT® is proud to announce the addition of a new peer-reviewed clinical study to its growing research library, bringing the total number of peer-reviewed, published studies validating the efficacy of CELLIANT and infrared to eleven. Published in 2025, this preliminary investigation explores the effects of far-infrared–emitting garments on recovery and neuromuscular performance following resistance exercise.
This latest research contributes to the broader scientific understanding of how infrared energy may support the body during key recovery windows. While early in nature, the findings are encouraging and aligned with outcomes observed across CELLIANT’s existing body of research, reinforcing infrared’s potential role in performance and recovery-focused textile solutions.
Over two decades, CELLIANT has built a robust portfolio of peer-reviewed, published research examining the interaction between infrared energy and the human body. These studies collectively investigate endpoints ranging from local circulation and cellular oxygenation to thermoregulation, sleep quality, and physical performance.
In addition to clinical trials overseen by CELLIANT’s Science Advisory Board, licensed brand partners have also conducted peer-reviewed research evaluating CELLIANT-powered products.* This collaborative research helps expand scientific insight across real-world use cases, applications, and populations.
The 2025 study was conducted by researchers affiliated with the University of Notre Dame and published in the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology. The investigation examined whether far-infrared–emitting compression garments could influence objective and subjective recovery outcomes following a heavy resistance exercise bout.
Participants wore their assigned garments during key post-exercise recovery periods over a 48-hour window.
Participants wearing the far-infrared–emitting garments demonstrated improvements—or recovery to baseline levels—across several neuromuscular performance metrics, while those in the placebo group generally remained below baseline.
Observed improvements included measures related to explosive strength, movement efficiency, and readiness, such as jump height, takeoff velocity, and mRSI. These outcomes suggest that infrared-emitting garments may support the body’s natural recovery timeline following intense lower-body training.
In addition to objective performance metrics, participants wearing the infrared garments were more likely to report feeling recovered within a 48-hour timeframe. While subjective by nature, perceived recovery remains an important consideration for athletes and active individuals managing training load and readiness.
This latest research adds another meaningful data point to CELLIANT’s growing clinical foundation. While early in scope, the study reinforces a consistent theme seen across infrared research: targeted infrared exposure may support the body during recovery-critical periods, particularly following physical exertion.
As a small pilot study, the findings are preliminary and not intended to be generalized across all populations or athletic contexts. Larger-scale studies across diverse populations and performance demands will be needed to further explore and validate these outcomes.
As CELLIANT continues to collaborate with researchers and brand partners worldwide—and expand our direct-to-consumer infrared solutions—we remain committed to advancing research-led innovation through ongoing study and discovery.
