Kaatsu (Japanese: 加圧, often styled as KAATSU or KA A TSU [1]) is a patented exercise method developed by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato that is based on blood flow moderation exercise (or vascular occlusion moderation training) involving compression of the vasculature proximal to the exercising muscles by the Kaatsu Master device.
When you’re working up a sweat, your feet likely get less attention than larger muscle groups (we’re looking at you, core workouts!), but when you have flat feet—which, according to some ...
According to Lisa Lawless, Ph.D., a sexual health expert and founder of Holistic Wisdom, regular cardio exercise can improve blood flow and endurance—leading to more satisfying sex.
By compressing the surface veins, arteries and muscles, they force circulating blood through narrower channels. As a result, the arterial pressure is increased, which causes more blood to return to the heart and less blood to pool in the feet. There are two types of compression stockings, gradient and anti-embolism. [2] Compression stockings
Biological terrain assessment – a set of computerized tests used to measure the pH, resistivity and redox of a person's urine, blood and saliva, with the intention of recommending a customized program of health supplements and remedies (such as vitamins, homeopathic supplements, or herbal medicines) based on the results. Proponents suggest ...
“The reductions in blood pressure after aerobic exercise training amounted to 4.49/2.53 mmHg; 4.55/3.04 mmHg after dynamic resistance training; 6.04/2.54 mmHg after combined training; 4.08/2.50 ...
[16] [17] Proponents also falsely claim that cupping "improves blood flow" to help sore muscles. [18] James Hamblin notes that a bruise caused by cupping "is a blood clot, though, and clotted blood is definitionally not flowing." [19] Critics of alternative medicine have spoken out against cupping therapy.
Functional hyperaemia is an increase in blood flow to a tissue due to the presence of metabolites and a change in general conditions. When a tissue increases its activity, there is a well-characterized fall in the partial pressure of oxygen and pH, along with an increase in partial pressure of carbon dioxide, and a rise in temperature and the concentration of potassium ions.
