[The effect of contrast baths on physical work capacity and autonomic regulation in hypertension patients]. 1994

E I Sorokina, and N V Iachmenev, and O I Goncharova

Examining the impact of contrast baths (CB) having temperatures of 38-40 and 25-26 degrees C on the physical fitness, blood pressures, and autonomic regulatory parameters of patients with Stages I and II hypertensive disease has demonstrated that CB exerts a hypotensive effect, reduces the tonicity of the sympathetic nervous system, enhances physical fitness and saves oxygen for cardiac performance. The outcomes remained for 3-12 months. The findings provide evidence for that CB is a pathogenetic and effective hydrotherapeutic technique for patients with Stages I and II hypertensive disease. CB was ascertained to have a more pronounced action on the tonicity of the sympathetic nervous system, when it ends with a cool bath (25-26 degrees C), so it is mostly indicated for hypertensives with severe hypersympathicotonia.

D005080 Exercise Test Controlled physical activity which is performed in order to allow assessment of physiological functions, particularly cardiovascular and pulmonary, but also aerobic capacity. Maximal (most intense) exercise is usually required but submaximal exercise is also used.

D001341 Autonomic Nervous System The ENTERIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; PARASYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM; and SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM taken together. Generally speaking, the autonomic nervous system regulates the internal environment during both peaceful activity and physical or emotional stress. Autonomic activity is controlled and integrated by the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, especially the HYPOTHALAMUS and the SOLITARY NUCLEUS, which receive information relayed from VISCERAL AFFERENTS.
