Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the present study, exercise using a horse riding machine with 1/f fluctuation ameliorated imbalance in autonomic nervous system activity in patients with heart failure, thereby attenuating excess sympathetic nervous system activity. Such attenuation also occurred in healthy adults as a short-term effect of continuous intervention using the exercise. In conclusion, because use of the horse riding machine with 1/f fluctuation ameliorated autonomic nervous activity imbalance in patients with heart failure as well as healthy adults, it may be considered as a new exercise therapy in cardiac rehabilitation.
