IN-FLIGHT HEALTH
When you are flying you can be seated and inactive for long periods of time. The environment can be low in humidity and pressurized up to an altitude of 2440 meters above sea level. Unlike other forms of transportation, air travel allows for rapid movement across many time zones, causing a disruption to the body’s “biological clock”
Have you ever imagined of a Health club in air ! in just one place, in just one machine, which works out your complete body. You must be familiar with the chair like seat and the seat belt of the airplanes, but have you ever experienced a chair, which exercises your complete body joints and muscles.
Nowadays airline authorities are trying to give their best to their passengers with something unique/something different so that people will enjoy their air journey. There are some flights, which takes more than 18 hours to reach the destination, stiffing the body of the passengers till they reach their destination. Sitting still for long periods of time can increase the risk of swollen ankles, lower leg pain and in some cases even lead to a fatal pulmonary embolism.
Blood Circulation/Muscle Relaxation
When you’re sitting upright and inactive for a long period of time, several things can happen:
- The central blood vessels in your legs can be compressed, making it harder for the blood to get back to your heart.
- Muscles can become tense, resulting in backaches and a feeling of excessive fatigue during, and even after your flight.
- The normal body mechanism for returning fluid to the heart, can be inhibited and gravity can cause the fluid to collect in your feet, resulting in swollen feet after a long flight.
- Some studies have concluded that prolonged immobility may be a risk factor in the formation of blood clots in the legs (DVT – deep vein thrombosis). Particular medications and medical conditions may increase the risk of formation of blood clots if associated with prolonged immobility.
Our EXER-KING The Total Power (Special light weight version) in your airlines has been designed specifically to increase blood circulation to prevent clotting and the risk of a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and the passengers can enjoy a Healthy and fit journey/trip and can attend to their work without stress.
