Abstract
During autogenic standard exercise (concentration on warmth) digital, hand, forearm and calf blood flow were measured by means of venous occlusion plethysmography in two groups of male volunteers. Group I consisted of 12 trainees with long periods (more than 2 years) of regular standard autogenic training. Group II of 12 trainees with periods (less than 1 year) of irregular autogenic training. During autogenic exercise, hand blood flow rose significantly (5% or 1% level) in 7 persons of Group I and in 2 persons of Group II; digital blood flow rose significantly in 6 persons of Group I and in one person of Group II. Forearm blood flow increased only in one person of Group I significantly. Calf blood flow did not increase.
