Can Biokinergia massage boost oxygen consumption and alter cardiovascular responses in trained individuals?

In 1998, Flore, et. al., conducted study about Biokinergia (BK), a massage technique designed to enhance “biological” potential, has shown promise in modifying blood lactate concentration during prolonged exercise in a preliminary pilot study. This study aimed to validate the effects of BK on performance and physiological adaptations during maximal aerobic muscular exercise. The primary objective was to confirm the influence of a BK session … Continue reading Can Biokinergia massage boost oxygen consumption and alter cardiovascular responses in trained individuals?
