New Zealand, Russian and Chinese studies have shown that deer antler velvet may play a valuable role in sports during training, performance, recovery, and in the treatment of injury. Studies indicate that deer velvet supplements may improve athletic performance by:

- increasing strength and endurance,
- increasing oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood,
- repairing minor tissue damage from exertion,
- and boosting the immune system of athletes.

Studies by internationally recognised deer experts at AgResearch Invermay in New Zealand support the notion that deer velvet is a useful supplement for athletes.

A 10-week study of physical education students at Otago University found that the group taking deer velvet showed twice the improvement in a strength test of the group not taking deer velvet. Velvet may be an important factor in delaying tiredness and increasing endurance.

It also contains a number of natural growth factors including called IGF-1. Studies have put forward that IGF-1 as found in antler velvet may improve muscle development by increasing strength and stamina without necessarily increasing size. IGF-1 is also believed to be a key to cell regeneration and may increase bone density.
