Brief Summary

Whole-body periodic acceleration (WBPA) is a new, non-invasive, and promising therapy for a diverse and growing list of disorders including cardiovascular disease 6. During WBPA, patients lie in the supine position on a bed that is capable of translating back and forth parallel to the ground, along the head-to-foot axis of the patient. Thus, this treatment is best described as a form of "passive exercise." The frequency of the translation (up to 180 cycles/minute; cpm) as well as the distance traveled (2-24mm) by the bed can be adjusted by the patient or health care professional. The science behind the therapeutic effects of WBPA still remains largely unknown. The objective of this study is to determine if WBPA may be used as an effective way to reduce lactic acid concentrations during recovery after intense exercise more rapidly than previously established methods.

Conditions

WBPA (Whole Body Accleration)

EXPERIMENTAL

Whole-body periodic acceleration (WBPA) is a new, non-invasive, and promising therapy for a diverse and growing list of disorders including cardiovascular disease 6. During WBPA, patients lie in the supine position on a bed that is capable of translating back and forth parallel to the ground, along the head-to-foot axis of the patient.

The frequency of the translation (up to 180 cycles/minute; cpm) as well as the distance traveled (2-24mm) by the bed can be adjusted by the patient or health care professional.

Device: Whole Body Periodic Acceleration

Active Recovery

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Active recovery methods (e.g.walking, biking) have been shown to decrease blood lactate levels more than passive recovery 1,2. This arm requires subjects to walk at a low intensity as recovery.

Device: Whole Body Periodic Acceleration

Interventions

Whole Body Periodic Acceleration DEVICE

A bed that translates back and forth at different frequencies while the subject lies supine

Active Recovery; WBPA (Whole Body Accleration)
