| description | BackgroundThere are no long-term (>10 years) follow-up evaluations of the effects of handstand exercise or studies on the use of equipment for passive handstand exercise.ObjectiveTo report a 40-year follow-up investigation of a Chinese man who has been practicing passive handstand for 40 years.DesignThis observational investigation was conducted in Guizhou Province, China.ParticipantA (currently) 66-year-old Chinese man who had been practicing passive handstand exercise for 40 years was followed up.InterventionsPhysical and auxiliary examinations were carried out to determine the effects of long-term passive handstand exercise on the human body.Main MeasuresThe participant’s cerebrovascular, spinal health, mental health, and visual acuity as well as the presence of facial aging were examined.Key ResultsHis cerebral vessels were healthy, he appeared younger than his peers, his cervical spondylosis improved, and his mental state and cognitive function were good.ConclusionLong-term passive handstand exercise can promote cerebrovascular elasticity training and delay signs of aging. We recommend promoting this passive handstand exercise to the public. |
