Summary

            Capillary network density in particular tissues grows proportionally to their oxygen demand. BEMER therapy, used as complex or supplementary treatment, improves basic physiological processes, angiokinesis, microcirculation, as well as oxygenation and nutrition of muscle cells.

Material and methods. The study was conducted on a male individual who leads a healthy life style and who twice subjected himself to the markings of cognitive functions and selected blood indicators; first, during natural physiological restitution after endurance effort, and second, after restitution enhanced with BEMER therapy. 

Results. Most significant changes after endurance effort were observed in the following blood indicators: leukocytes, erythrocytes, insulin and cortisol. Least significant changes were noted in the number of lymphocytes and in cognitive functions.

Conclusion.

1.  Applied methodology and profile of BEMER signal, through increasing the lumen of microcirculation vessels, variously affects the value of selected blood indicators
2. The individual results achieved from the conducted measurements may not serve a basis for drawing generalized conclusions on after-endurance effect of BEMER signal; instead, they may be treated as an attempt at showing a direction for further research on the possible changes in the application method of the structurally multidimensional BEMER signal as well as on the intensification of biological restitution after various physical efforts.
3. More beneficial results of TMT test observed in the second course of measurements are rather a result of learning process than of BEMER therapy itself.
