| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Arm-cranking exercises combined with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) of the lower limbs at maximum intensity enhance vascular endothelial function. To bring this procedure into clinical application, we examined the effects of acute arm-cranking exercise combined with lower-extremity EMS at different intensities on vascular endothelial function. The combination of arm-cranking exercise and 50% intensity EMS appears to be a clinically applicable program for improving vascular endothelial function, even with reduced exercise intensity.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
下肢を中心とした有酸素性運動はリハビリテーションの現場でも広く用いられているが，医療現場では，疼痛，麻痺により実施困難な場合がある．これまで，中強度の有酸素性運動と最大耐性強度の下肢へのEMSの併用運動が血管内皮機能を高めることを明らかにしたが，より臨床へ適応させるためには運動強度を下げる必要があった．研究の社会的意義は，下肢を中心とした有酸素性運動の実施が困難な者において，中強度の上肢クランク運動と中強度の下肢へのEMSを併用した運動が血管内皮機能および呼吸循環機能を向上させる可能性が示唆され，麻痺，疼痛，低体力者などより多くの対象者へ適応可能な新たな運動療法の一つとなり得る点である．
