Abstract:

Research Questions/Hypotheses: Pedal pump is an osteopathic manipulative medicine technique used by physicians to increase lymphatic drainage throughout the body. Pedal pump has been shown to increase lymphatic flow and improve immunity. This technique may improve circulation and improve clearance of metabolites after exercise. This study expands on prior research assessing the use of whole-body periodic acceleration (WBPA), a mechanical lymphatic technique, as an improved recovery method following intense exercise compared with active walking recovery. The research compares the pedal pump lymphatic technique with passive supine recovery after maximal exercise. Methods: Ten participants (aged 22-30 years, 6 male, 4 female), performed a maximal volume o2 test (Vo2 max) using a Bruce protocol followed by a recovery protocol using 1 minute of walking (2 mph) preceding either pedal pump or supine passive rest for 9 minutes, followed by sitting for 10 minutes. Participants returned on another day to repeat the Vo2 max test to perform the other recovery protocol. Outcome measures included blood lactate concentration (BL), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), and oxygen consumption (Vo2). Data Analysis: These markers were measured at rest, exhaustion, and minutes 4, 7, 10, and 20 of the recovery protocols. A 2 ×6 repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare outcome measures. Results: No significant differences were found in Vo2 (P=.34), HR (P=.67), SBP (P=.55), or BL (P=.10) between recovery protocols. Conclusion: In this pilot project, we found no change in recovery between the pedal pump or passive recovery following maximal exercise.
