Abstract:It has been observed in sports related settings that direct moxibustion is an effective way of improving exercise capacity. Our study is in an attempt to find the evidence for potential application of one kind of indirect moxibustion which has never been applied in the field of sports medicine. Methods: A total of 83 participants were chosen, 27 were No.1 stimulus parameter control subjects, 28 subjects with No.2 parameter, and 28 with No.3.Experimental Paradigm. Results of Vo2 max and stimulus parameters were analyzed, with particular emphasis on the temperatures of the points. Results:1) There existed no significant difference in subjects in terms of Vo2 max, No.2 parameter Vo2 max was higher than the other 2 groups; 2)The temperatures differs significantly among three groups.(P<0.05). Conclusion: Our data reveal that 1) moxibustion on aconite slices can be employed as a assisted mean of promoting exercise capacity. 2) Results of Vo2 max is not positively correlated to thermal-effects. 3) The frequency of moxibustion is not in positive correlation to results, and the total quantity of stimulus should take total frequency as a vital factor.
