| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated acute the effect of stretching on blood circulation, flow-mediated vasodilation and arterial stiffness in stretched muscles. We also investigated that whether blood glucose level after oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) decreased by the acute stretching. The stretching for a little repetition number induced an increase in oxygen saturation and a blood circulation promotion in stretched muscles. The stretching improved the flow-mediated vasodilation in stretched muscles. However, the stretching did not change arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity). Blood glucose level after OGTT decreased by acute stretching and a case that improvement of post-meal hyperglycemia was observed after the stretching. These results indicated that stretching would be exercise therapy for prevention of arteriosclerosis induced by hyperglycemia.
