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?

Can manual therapy initiate a central control mechanism for pain relief and sympathetic activation?

In the quest to better understand the effects of manipulative therapy on pain management, a groundbreaking study led by B. Vicenzino(1998), et. al., has shed light on a potential treatment-specific mechanism. The study aimed to investigate the interrelationship between manipulative therapy-induced hypoalgesia (pain relief) and sympathoexcitation (activation of the sympathetic nervous system). This cutting-edge research, conducted as a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, repeated-measures study, delves into … Continue reading Can manual therapy initiate a central control mechanism for pain relief and sympathetic activation?
