PHOTOBIOLOGY

Stimulates blood flow due to the supply of beneficial energy to the human body from sunlight.

Thermal imaging camera

After 30 minutes wearing Ceravida product, picture shows increase of body energy waves. The thermal imaging camera showed an increase in skin temperature compared to the control.

Increase Temperature

(A comparison between control and Ceravida sample) Chest skin temperatures were increased 10 minutes after the start of exercise to 1.3℃ for the control sample and 1.5 ℃ for the Ceravida one. During the recovery period, the difference between the two samples was 1 ℃ with the temperature of the Ceravida sample being higher than that of the control one.

Improving red blood cell circulation with increased oxygen in the blood. When the red blood cells are separated with more space surrounding them it indicates higher oxygen levels and consequentially higher energy levels. The opposite is the case with lower oxygen levels as with the comparison study

Blood flow : in milliliters per minute per 100 grams tissue. (A comparison between control and Ceravida sample). Finger blood flows were increased by 27% for the control sample and 23% for the Ceravida one for 5 minutes compared to the start of exercise. These were increased again by 7% for the control sample and 20% for the Ceravida one in the recovery period

Lactate: Lactate is a material that causes the human body to feel fatigue, and is generated when glycogen, which produces energy within the body, decomposes as muscles are used. Accordingly, when the lactate concentration decreases, fatigue also decreases.

(A comparison between control and Ceravida sample)

Overall, the lactate concentrations of the control sample were higher than those of the Ceravida one.

Acid is a metabolite that reflects body fatigue and recovers after a certain period of time after the blood levels increase with the intensity of exercise. In this experiment, we examined the changes in blood lactate between two trials through an artificially induced exercise test. As a result, in the period immediately after exercise, control clothing showed 411% lactate increase, whereas Ceravida clothing showed 223% lactate increase. At the time of rest, control clothing showed 40% recovery, whereas Ceravida clothing showed 44% recovery. It can be interpreted that exercise with Ceravida clothing results in lower lactate production and faster lactate removal following the end of exercise.

Respiratory Gas : Among the variables related to respiratory gas, VO2max (Maximal oxygen uptake), VE (ventilation), PaCO2 (Arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure), FeCO2 (partial pressure of end tidal carbon dioxide), PetCO2 (End-tidal carbon dioxide tension) were statistically significant (P<.05) differences. Maximum oxygen uptake is the maximum amount of oxygen ingested during exercise and is generally a variable that reflects aerobic exercise capacity or cardiopulmonary endurance. Exercise in the state of wearing Ceravida clothing indicates more aerobic exercise capacity than exercise capacity in the state of wearing control clothing. Ventilation means the amount of air intake, and it is interpreted that exercise in the state of wearing Ceravida clothing according to the difference of the maximum oxygen uptake amount induces a greater ventilation amount. Arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure is also a physiological indicator that reflects the ventilation of the lungs. It is interpreted that exercise in the state of wearing  Ceravida clothing has lower CO2 partial pressure than exercise in the state of wearing the control clothing.

Exercise performance capacity : Among the variables of exercise performance, METs showed a statistically significant (P<.05) difference. METs is a variable indicating metabolic equivalents, meaning energy consumption and metabolic rate. It means that the metabolic rate in exercise when wearing Ceravida clothing is higher than that in exercise when wearing control clothing.
