Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The preliminary study (exercise stimulus) at Kochi University is conducted with healthy subjects (20 years and older) who have never smoked. In addition, an exercise protocol (jump rope) is introduced and implemented, which was found to cause fluctuations in blood and saliva components in a preliminary literature review. Prof. Tatsuya Hisajima, Teikyo Heisei University, randomly selects healthy subjects over 20 years old who are undergo electroacupuncture stimulation, saliva collection before and after the stimulation, and a medical questionnaire. On the day of the session, the participants will undergo a health checkup, and then undergo electroacupuncture stimulation at the trigeminal nerve in the frontal lobe, saliva sampling, and a medical questionnaire.
