Preparation of static training animal models and research status analysis

AbstractAs a form of Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) Qigong exercises and an essential part of exercise therapy, static training has proven clinical efficacy. However, further evidence is required to reveal its mechanism of action provided by animal experiments. There are four major ways to establish static training animal models: pole climbing, hind-limb suspension, isometric-contraction weight bearing, and electrical stimulation. These models have been used to study diseases of the motor, circulatory, and endocrine systems, etc., and the mechanism has got extensive exploration. It reviewed static training animal models and the research progress to provide theoretical evidence for static training ’s experimental research and mechanism exploration.
