Does rhythmic sensory stimulation improve fitness by conditioning the autonomic nervous system?
Rhythmic sensory stimulation entails autonomic adaptations that are comparable with those of exercise. This demonstration of sensory-induced autonomic adaptations without any muscular involvement may help to design alternative, low-effort fitness programmes for specific categories of sedentary, diseased or disabled persons.
Intestinal HSP70 may play a potential protective role through improving the imbalance between the intestinal post-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in PI-IBS.
