I believe the physiological changes stand a good chance of making
a difference to the healthy as well, and if so athletes in particular are likely to
pursue this. As far as banning it, how would the Olympic authorities
be able to tell if vasoconstriction has been used? There's no circulating
residue in the body to check for. Could be difficult or impossible.
BTW, a health care worker administering vasoconstriction to a relative
of mine said they (the staff) use the machine themselves. Apparently,
they like what they see (or feel).

Elizabeth,

"If athletes found it could increase their endurance and stamina, I wonder if a treatment such as this would be banned prior to athletic competitions - such as the Olympics."

I afraid that's like saying that you are going to ban massage therapy and exercise for Olympians. EECP is just a natural process of moving blood by constriction of the extremities. Its simplicity is wonderful.
