| Research Abstract |
Clinical observations of CO_2-hot spring immersion revealed the effects, an immersed part reddening, vasodilatation, skin blood flow improvements, etc. Therefore, CO_2-hot spring was inhibited cold sensation, but increased warm sensation in immersed skin. The present study was investigate to effect of warm-up and recovery from exercise whether CO_2-water immersion influences local muscle O_2 consumption (MO_2) and blood flow (BF_<muscle>) by using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS). Results suggest that the artificial CO_2-water bathing may increase muscle-blood flow as well as skin blood flow and stimulate the muscle metabolism. Also, muscle endurance of repetitive hand grip exercise was improved. It was suggested that artificial CO_2-water bathing contributed to recovery of muscle fatigue and improved muscle endurance in human.
