ABSTRACT:
An exercise technique having therapeutic effects. In this technique the heart rate of the individual being treated is continuously monitored and the prevailing rate is displayed as he undergoes a conditioning session constituted by successive stress-relaxation cycles forming a wave pattern. In the course of each cycle, the individual is required to raise his level of exertion, as indicated by his perceived heart rate, to a peak representing maximum stress, following which he is required to decrease his exertion until he reaches a lower relaxation limit at which a recovery response takes place. The upper and lower limits are determined by the individual's existing capacity for exercise, and as the individual's condition improves in the course of subsequent conditioning sessions, the limits are raised to effect further improvement.
