Abstract
Introduction: Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation (TEAS) is a safe standardized non-invasive therapeutic technique to enhance the heart rate regulation in healthy and cardiovascular disease individuals Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the acute therapeutic effect of TEAS on recovery heart rate (HR) after exercise. Methods: Forty-one recreationally active college students were recruited and randomly assigned into either TEAS group (TG) or control group (CG). All participants were required to perform two trials of 3-minute step exercise (3MST) wtih a break of 30 minutes between trials. For the TG, participants received 10 minutes TEAS treatment on both forearms at the two selected standard acupoints (Nei-Guan [PC6] and Lie-Que [LU7]) for cardiovascular disease before the second trial, while the CG was seated at rest. HR was measured at rest (HRrest), the first (HR1), second (HR2) and third-minute (HR3) of recovery after 3MST. Mixed-models repeated measures method was used to compare differences between the groups (�?± = 0.05). Results: There were no significant difference in HRrest1 and HRrest2 between the first and the second 3MST in both groups, as well as between groups. The caluculated 3MST fitness indexes were no significance different between the pre-treatment and the post treatment in both groups. Conclusion: Although TEAS at PC6 and LU7 has demonstrated it can slowdown the heart rate in tachycardia patients. But in this study, it did not show the effect. We spaculate, the timing and durantion of TEAS treatment may play important role and its machanism on enhencing cardiovascular enhencing need to further investigate.Biography
