A Pilot Study: Igor Nazarov, PhD1

This pilot study investigated the effects of Light Technology-treated wearable devices on human strength metrics. Thirty-two participants underwent a standardized 25–30-minute workout using Medex “selectorized” equipment to eliminate warm-up effects, followed by measurements on an ARX machine. Performance was assessed during a 10-second isometric leg press both without and with a Light Technology-treated shirt. Results demonstrated a statistically significant increase in maximum force generation (12.4%, P<0.0005) and maximum power output (9.7%, P<0.0005) when wearing the treated shirt. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis tests confirmed these findings (P<0.0001). The results suggest that specific light wave patterns incorporated into wearable devices may influence proprioceptive function, potentially through the interaction of biophotons with neural networks and the body’s electromagnetic field. This study provides preliminary evidence that Light Technology wearables may enhance muscular performance, possibly by optimizing proprioceptive feedback and central nervous system integration. These findings have implications for athletic performance, rehabilitation, and general physical function, though further research is needed to fully elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
