In addition, the legs can be exercised in such a posture that the user lies down.

  In the present embodiment, the LED lighting device 80 is disposed near the upper end inside the housing 10. However, the LED lighting device 80 may be arranged on one side or both sides of the opening 11. The drive circuit of the LED lighting device 80 is not shown in the figure, but is a circuit that generates a pulsed LED drive signal with a preset or variable period. It is well known.

  An important point in the present embodiment is that an LED illumination device 80 including a blue LED that generates visible light having a wavelength of about 430 to 470 nm, preferably about 460 nm is disposed inside the housing 10. . First, since the pressure inside the housing is maintained at about 1.3 atm, which is higher than the atmospheric pressure, the blood vessels in the skin are compressed, the diameter of the blood vessels is reduced, and the shear stress on the vascular endothelium is increased. Endothelial cell NO production increases, resulting in increased prostaglandin production. Prostaglandins stimulate sensory nerves and increase the production of IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor-1). IGF-1 causes the growth and development of most cells of the human body, especially muscle, bone, liver, kidney, nerve, skin and lung cells. The blue visible light with a wavelength of about 460 nm emitted from the blue LED has a sensory nerve stimulating action, and is detected by the blue photoreceptor cryptochrome (Cry) which is considered to exist in the sensory nerve of the skin. More and more IGF-1 is produced.

  In this embodiment, the more important point is that this blue LED is not continuous light, but pulse light having a narrow pulse width on the order of micrometers is generated intermittently at a rate of 100 times per second with a duty ratio of 50%. Is to be irradiated with discontinuous light. Thus, by applying light having a high peak value with a narrow pulse width, very efficient stimulation and penetration are performed on the skin.

  The therapeutic effect of blue visible light with a wavelength of about 460 nm emitted from the blue LED includes an acne treatment effect and an improvement effect on oily skin by being absorbed by the sebaceous glands. That is, acne that causes acne contains a photosensitizing substance called porphyrin that reacts with specific light, and this porphyrin reacts when blue light is irradiated to the skin. Acne bacteria are oxidized and destroyed when primary oxygen is generated by the photochemical reaction. In addition, this blue light has a function of suppressing sebum that is excessively secreted.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the user performs rehabilitation and training in a high atmospheric pressure state, and at the same time, the user can further promote the therapeutic effect and growth hormone secretion by the blue light. I can expect. In particular, the production of IGF-1 has been dramatically improved by the synergistic effect of maintaining the atmospheric pressure in the housing at about 1.3 atmospheric pressure, which is higher than the atmospheric pressure, and illuminating the interior of the housing 10 with the light of the blue LED. Increases the secretion of growth hormone, and in combination with body movements, it obtains both therapeutic and activation effects such as acne treatment effect and oily skin improvement effect, and relaxation effect by being absorbed into the sebaceous glands described above be able to.

  In a modification of the present embodiment, the LED lighting device 80 uses a visible light having a wavelength of about 610 to 780 nm, preferably about 644 nm (pulse light having a pulse width on the order of micrometers) instead of the blue LED. A red LED that generates discontinuous light generated intermittently at intervals may be used. According to recent research results, when red eyes are irradiated with red visible light having a wavelength of about 644 nm from the front of the frontal region in a state where both eyes are completely shielded from light for human subjects, It is known that the effect of stress reduction can be expected. This red light is absorbed by the fibroblasts and has an anti-aging effect. That is, the red light acts on the mitochondria and the like of the cell, promotes the activation of the cell, activates the activity of the poor-colored cell, has the effect of suppressing inflammation and improving the aging of the skin. As a result, the redness of acne can be quickly removed, fine wrinkles can be removed, and skin tension can be restored. Further, since the collagen cells in the back of the skin are strongly activated, it is possible to improve spots and wrinkles due to aging, opening of pores and the like. Furthermore, since the metabolism becomes good and the blood circulation disorder can be eliminated, the dullness and dullness can be improved. In particular, stress reduction is promoted by the synergistic effect of maintaining the atmospheric pressure in the housing at about 1.3 atmospheric pressure, which is higher than the atmospheric pressure, and illuminating the inside of the housing 10 with the light of the red LED, and the physical exercise Together with this, it is possible to obtain both the therapeutic effect such as the anti-aging effect and the activation effect, and the relaxation effect by being absorbed by the fibroblasts described above.

  In another modification of this embodiment, the LED lighting device 80 replaces the blue LED or the red LED with visible light having a wavelength of about 560 to 590 nm, preferably about 575 nm (with a pulse width on the order of micrometers). You may use yellow LED which generate | occur | produces the discontinuous light which the pulsed light to have generate | occur | produces intermittently at intervals. By irradiating yellow visible light having a wavelength of about 575 nm from a yellow LED, activation of lymph is promoted, and it is effective for making red face and small face. That is, the yellow light activates lymph flow and promotes repair of damaged cells. It also has a detoxification and cleansing action, and can activate skin tissue to provide lively skin. In particular, the synergistic effect of maintaining the atmospheric pressure in the housing at about 1.3 atmospheric pressure, which is higher than the atmospheric pressure, and illuminating the interior of the housing 10 with the light of the yellow LED, coupled with the movement of the body, It is possible to obtain both therapeutic effects such as activation effects and activation effects, and relaxation effects.

  In yet another modification of the present embodiment, yellow LEDs (about 575 nm) and red LEDs (about 644 nm) are provided for activation, and these lights are irradiated simultaneously or switched as necessary. You may make it do. As a result, proteins such as collagen and elastin can be increased to improve skin deterioration with age, improve lymph flow, and contribute to the creation of small faces. It is also suitable when you want to wake up mentally or when you want to be well.

  In still another modification of this embodiment, a blue LED (about 460 nm) and a red LED (about 644 nm) are provided for sedation, and these lights are irradiated at the same time or switched as necessary. You may make it irradiate. It is effective when you are concerned about acne and rough skin, or want to grow hair. Suitable when you want to relax mentally.

  In still another modification of this embodiment, a red LED (about 644 nm), a blue LED (about 460 nm) and a yellow LED (about 575 nm) are provided for activation and soothing, and these lights are irradiated simultaneously. Or you may make it irradiate by switching as needed. Although all the above-mentioned effects are provided, it is particularly effective when there is little exposure to natural light.

  In still another modification of the present embodiment, a green LED that generates visible light having a wavelength of about 500 to 530 nm is used.

  The EMS device 100 attaches the plurality of (four in this modification) electrodes 100a to the skin surface and applies a weak current to promote the contraction movement of the muscle by the stimulation, thereby obtaining a training and exercise effect. Device. The EMS device 100 according to the present embodiment can flow an interference wave current with a medium frequency of 2500 Hz through the four electrodes 100a, and can effectively effectively flow the medium frequency current of 2500 Hz intermittently. It is also possible to pass a Russian current that can stimulate muscles. When an interference wave current having a medium frequency of 2500 Hz is applied to the abdomen of the subject (23-year-old male, 31-year-old male) for about 20 minutes by the EMS device 100 in this embodiment, a thermographic image of the body surface above the waist of the subject. Showed that body temperature has risen significantly. In addition, the EMS apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment allows the abdominal CT to be obtained when an interference wave current having a medium frequency of 2500 Hz is actually applied to the abdomen of the subject (27-year-old male) for about 20 minutes and when the EMS apparatus is not used. When the images were taken and the cross-sectional areas of the rectus abdominis and psoas major were determined from the CT images, the results were as shown in Table 1.

  From Table 1, it can be seen that by stimulating the abdominal muscles with the EMS device 100, particularly the rectus abdominis muscles actively move and the cross-sectional area thereof increases significantly. That is, when the EMS apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment is used, it can be understood that the muscles are actively exercised to increase the body surface temperature and the cross-sectional area of the muscles is increased, so that effective training and exercise can be performed. In particular, this training and exercise effect is remarkably increased when performed under high pressure.

  Thus, according to the present embodiment, the atmospheric pressure in the housing is maintained at about 1.3 atmospheric pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure, and the interior of the housing 10 is illuminated with the light of the blue LED, red LED, and / or yellow LED. And the use of the EMS device 100 promotes the secretion of growth hormone, further improves the muscle training effect, and obtains the above-described therapeutic and activation effects and relaxation effects together. Can do.
