Clinical Trial Summary

Foot reflexology treatment provides acute and chronic effects on cardiovascular and hemodynamic functions. However, no information is available to us in regarding the treatment effect of foot reflexology after exercise. This study investigated the acute effect of foot reflexology treatment on heart rate variability after anaerobic-based and aerobic-based intermittent exercises.

Description:

The sympathetic activation and sympathy-vagal balance after repeat sprint performance can be immediately modulated by foot reflexology massage. The acute benefits of foot reflexology intervention on cardiac sympathovagal balance can be considered as exercise recovery strategies in sports.
