Abstract:
Artificial CO2-bath was prepared with a tablet (50g): made from sodium bicarbonate and succinic acid, putting simply in plain water bath tub of 100-200 litre at 40C.
The effect of artificial CO2-bath was studied in relation to the change in blood lactic acid which is thought to be indicative of the physical fatigue.
It has been clearly demonstrated experimentally using rats that the blood lactic acid after exercise is significantly reduced as compared both to a plain and an artificial Na2 SO4-NaHCO3 bathing.
A favorable effect of the artificial CO2-bath was also confirmed clinically by a relief from the stiff pain following maximal abdominal muscle exercise.
