AI Article Synopsis
- The study followed a 66-year-old Chinese man who practiced passive handstand exercises for 40 years to evaluate long-term effects on health.
- Improvements were observed in his cerebrovascular health, cervical spondylosis, mental health, and visual acuity.
- The findings suggest that long-term passive handstand exercise can enhance vascular elasticity and may help in delaying aging signs, indicating it could be beneficial for broader public promotion.
Article Abstract
Background: There are no long-term (>10 years) follow-up evaluations of the effects of handstand exercise or studies on the use of equipment for passive handstand exercise.
Objective: To report a 40-year follow-up investigation of a Chinese man who has been practicing passive handstand for 40 years.
Design: This observational investigation was conducted in Guizhou Province, China.
Participant: A (currently) 66-year-old Chinese man who had been practicing passive handstand exercise for 40 years was followed up.
Interventions: Physical and auxiliary examinations were carried out to determine the effects of long-term passive handstand exercise on the human body.
Main Measures: The participant's cerebrovascular, spinal health, mental health, and visual acuity as well as the presence of facial aging were examined.
Key Results: His cerebral vessels were healthy, he appeared younger than his peers, his cervical spondylosis improved, and his mental state and cognitive function were good.
Conclusion: Long-term passive handstand exercise can promote cerebrovascular elasticity training and delay signs of aging. We recommend promoting this passive handstand exercise to the public.

Background: Established norms for fitness and performance measures are lacking in circus arts. These would assist healthcare professionals and coaches to screen for readiness to participate in training or performance, determine post-injury return to performance, and develop targeted conditioning programs.
Purpose: The purpose of this research was to establish norms for trunk and extremity physical exam and performance measures in circus artists by professional status, assigned sex at birth (ASAB), and age.

Evaluating feedback time delay during perturbed and unperturbed balance in handstand.

Feedback delays in balance are often assessed using muscle activity onset latencies in response to discrete perturbations. The purpose of the study was to calculate EMG latencies in perturbed handstand, and determine if delays are different to unperturbed handstand. Twelve national level gymnasts completed 12 perturbed and 10 unperturbed (five eyes open and five closed) handstands.
