Abstract: As a novel intervention, whole body periodic acceleration (WBPA) shows a variety of benefits to the cardiovascular system, such as reducing pulmonary arteria hypertension (PAH), improving coronary flow reserve (CFR) and increasing blood perfusion of organs as well as tissues. The underlying mechanisms of WBPA may lie in the increase of blood flow rate and endothelium shear stress, activation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase/serine threonine kinase (PI3K-Akt) and mitogen extracellular signal regulated kinases/extracellular signal regulated kinase (MEK-ERK1/2) signal pathway and the release of nitric oxide.

Key words: whole body periodic acceleration, cardiovascular system, effects, mechanisms, review
