Running in Health Power Infrared Tights: Go Further With Less Fatigue
Most performance tights make one kind of promise: compression that reduces muscle vibration during the run. Health Power does that too, but it's also doing something most compression gear isn't — working continuously through infrared fiber, not just fabric tension.
Two Technologies, Not One
Health Power combines AEC (Adaptive Energy Compression) with ACCAPI's infrared fiber. AEC reduces unwanted muscle oscillation during activity, which is the traditional compression benefit — less wasted energy, less vibration-related fatigue. Infrared fiber works differently: it absorbs your body's own thermal irradiation and reflects it back as Far Infrared energy at 5–20 microns, supporting circulation and muscle oxygenation the entire time you're wearing it, not only while you're moving.
What That Means Mid-Run
Better circulation means better oxygen delivery to working muscle. Muscles that are getting more oxygen fatigue more slowly and clear metabolic waste — the byproducts that contribute to that heavy, burning feeling late in a run — more efficiently. AEC's compression handles the mechanical side; the infrared fiber handles the circulation side. Together, that's the basis for going further before fatigue sets in.
The Numbers Behind It
ACCAPI tested Health Power apparel on 200 athletes over a one-month training block against a placebo-garment control group, using Cooper Test benchmarks. Results: +6% power, +9% faster recovery, and +11% endurance.
| Metric | Improvement |
|---|---|
| Power | +6% |
| Recovery speed | +9% |
| Endurance | +11% |
After the Run
Because the infrared effect doesn't require activity to work — it's continuous as long as you're wearing the garment and generating body heat — Health Power keeps supporting circulation after you stop running, not just during the effort itself. That's part of what separates it from compression-only gear, which does most of its work while you're actively moving.

FAQ
Is Health Power just compression gear with a new name?
No. It combines AEC compression with infrared fiber — two separate mechanisms working together, not one technology relabeled.
Were the +6%/+9%/+11% results tested against a placebo?
Yes — the study used a placebo-garment control group and Cooper Test benchmarks over a one-month training period with 200 athletes.
Does Health Power work if I'm not actively training?
The infrared effect is continuous while the garment is worn and generating body heat, so it supports circulation at rest as well as during activity.
Can I wear Health Power for recovery, not just running?
Yes — it's built as training apparel, but the infrared mechanism supports recovery whether you're active or resting afterward.
