Bioceramic arm garment does not increase diameter of brachial artery and blood flow—Compliance and biceps microcirculation in male recreational sports practitioners at rest: A single blinded randomized cross over study

Contrary to our hypothesis, wearing an FIR arm garment at rest does not lead to an improvement of either macro or microvascular function. These results suggest limited benefits in the sports context, notably during recovery.
