Gerard Karsenty, professor and chairman of Genetics and Development Department, Columbia University Medical Center, together with international collaborators, did the above researches. On Prof. Gerard Karsenty’s webpage, his Current Research is described as follows: “Work in my laboratory uses genetics to study how organs interact with one another to regulate in vertebrates various physiological functions. We study this aspect of vertebrate biology by focusing on one particular organ, bone and by addressing the following questions: Does bone have any other function besides making bone and if yes, what are they? A series of cell biological and clinical observations we had originally proposed, the hypothesis whereby there would be a coordinated regulation, endocrine in nature, of bone growth energy metabolism and reproduction. The testing of this hypothesis led to the demonstration that bone is an endocrine organ regulating insulin secretion, glucose homeostasis, testosterone production and male fertility. We also identified a receptor for osteocalcin in pancreatic β-cells and in Leydig cells of the testes. Further investigation showed that osteocalcin also favors hippocampal development and cognition in adult mice. In looking at the known function of osteocalcin we noticed that they are all needed when living in a hostile environment. Moreover circulating osteocalcin levels decrease abruptly and early in life of all species tested. Hence, we proposed a second hypothesis: Osteocalcin was originally needed for animals living a short life in a hostile environment, such as the one in which bone vertebrates evolved. We are now using this hypothesis to identify novel function of osteocalcin, we are looking for a receptor for osteocalcin in the brain, finally some aspects of the work on osteocalcin bare open new directions of research such as the study of the molecular basis of bone metastasis.” Relevance to PaidaLajin: PaidaLajin is a direct, powerful and holistic way to stimulate the skeleton.

Research on benefits of hand-clapping games

According to research published on http://funclapping.com, hand-clapping songs and games improve motor and cognitive skills! A researcher in Israel (Dr. Idit Sulkin, a member of BGU’s Music Science Lab in the Department of the Arts) conducted the first study of hand-clapping songs, revealing a direct link between those activities and the development of important skills in children of all ages! “We found that children in the first, second and third grades who sing these songs demonstrate skills absent in children who don’t take part in similar activities. We also found that children who spontaneously perform hand-clapping songs in the yard recess have neater handwriting, write better and make fewer spelling errors.” Relevance to PaidaLajin :

Researches on stretching being effective on Type I & II diabetes Studies that include stretching as part of exercise for Type 1 diabetics 1. Improving compliance with exercise in adolescents with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: results of a self-motivated home exercise program. Pediatrics. 1988 Apr; 81(4):519-25. Authors: Marrero DG1, Fremion AS, Golden MP.

Abstract In this project we investigated the impact of a 12-week at-home aerobic fitness program on aerobic capacity and metabolic control of ten adolescents (four girls and six boys 12 to 14 years of age) with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. The adolescents had no prior experience with exercise training. The 45-minute program, designed by a physical therapist, consisted of a stretching, calisthenics, and "cool-down" routine set to popular music. It was taught to the youngsters in group sessions. Each adolescent was given audioand videocassettes of the routine for home use that emphasized self-motivation in maintaining training. The youngsters were asked to exercise three times per week and were also taught how to adjust their insulin and diet for exercise. Aerobic fitness was determined by maximal oxygen uptake Scientific Researches Related to PaidaLajin (Tapping and Stretching)

following a vigorous, continuous progressive cycling test; metabolic control was measured by glycosylated hemoglobin values. All of the adolescents reported greater than 85% completion of the program. The youngsters displayed a correspondingly significant increase in aerobic fitness as measured by maximal oxygen uptake: 40.39 +/- 8.87 v 44.86 +/- 12.89 mL/kg/min. Glycosylated hemoglobin levels (mean +/- SD) for the entire group were significantly reduced after the program (11.41 +/- 4.47% v 10.01 +/- 3.21%). Results of this study indicate that nonathletic adolescents with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus can engage in self-motivated exercise training at home. If properly designed, such programs can improve aerobic fitness and may contribute to improvement in diabetes control. 2. The Effects of Physical Training on Blood Lipid Profiles in Adolescents With Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus. Phys Sportsmed. 1985 Dec;13(12):83-9. DOI: 10.1080/00913847.1985.11708949. Authors: Campaigne BN, Landt KW, Mellies MJ, James FW, Glueck CJ, Sperling MA. Abstract Fourteen adolescents (eight females and six males) with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) participated in a 12-week exercise program consisting of three 45-minute sessions per week. Exercise consisted of calisthenic warm-up and stretching (ten minutes), aerobic movement to music (25 minutes at 80% V o2 max), and cool-down (ten minutes). The purpose was to determine whether and to what degree such training would bring about changes in blood lipid and lipoprotein profiles in such patients. The authors found a significant decrease in low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concomitant to an increase in V o2 max with no change in Scientific Researches Related to PaidaLajin (Tapping and Stretching)

Twenty minutes of passive stretching lowers glucose levels in an at-risk population: an experimental study P173-178, Issue 57, Journey of Physiotherapy (2011) DOI: 10.1016/S1836-9553(11)70038-8 To download full text: http://www.journalofphysiotherapy.com/article/S1836-9553(11)70038-8/pdf To read abstract: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21843832 Abstract QUESTION: Can passive static stretching lower blood glucose in an at-risk population? DESIGN: Randomised, within-participant experimental study.

PARTICIPANTS: 22 adults (17 males) either at increased risk of Type 2 diabetes or with Type 2 diabetes. INTERVENTION: The participants reported to the laboratory 2hr after eating a meal, and drank 355ml of fruit juice (∼ 43g carbohydrate). Thirty minutes later, they underwent either a 40min passive static stretching regimen or a mock passive stretching regimen. Stretching consisted of six lower body and four Scientific Researches Related to PaidaLajin (Tapping and Stretching)

upper body static passive stretches. For the mock stretches, the same positions were adopted, but no tension was applied to the musculature. OUTCOME MEASURES: Blood glucose levels for both the stretching and mock stretching were analysed from a finger prick sample using a hand-held glucometer. Values were obtained at baseline (0min), during the regimen (20min), and after the regimen (40min) on both study days. RESULTS: Compared to mock stretch, stretching resulted in a significantly greater drop in blood glucose at 20min (mean difference 28mg/dL, 95% CI 13 to 43; or 1.57mmol/L, 95% CI 0.72 to 2.39). This effect was also statistically significant at 40min (mean difference 24mg/dL, 95% CI 9 to 39; or 1.35mmol/L, 95% CI 0.50 to 2.17). CONCLUSION: These results suggest that passive static stretching of the skeletal muscles may be an alternative to exercise to help lower blood glucose levels.

Subjects: Fifteen patients (8 males and 7 females) with type 2 diabetes were recruited and randomly assigned to the control group or passive static stretching group. Methods: Glycated hemoglobin was measured before and after the 8-week training period. Results: Glycated hemoglobin levels decreased significantly in the passive static stretching group, and there were significant differences in blood glucose levels between the 2 groups. Conclusion: Passive static stretching of the skeletal muscles may be an alternative to exercise to help regulate blood glucose levels in diabetes patients.

5. “Trust Me, I’m a Doctor (BBC Two)” did research on the effect of stretching in lowering blood sugar level Could having my muscles stretched have health benefits?

Could allowing yourself to be gently stretched by someone else, without making any effort of your own, give you some of the more important benefits of exercise? It sounds unlikely, but early research in diabetics and those at risk of diabetes seems to suggest that being stretched by someone else might actually improve your health.

Trust Me, I’m a Doctor teamed up with Dr Ian Lahart at the University of Wolverhampton to put so-called ‘passive stretching’ to the test. The experiment We recruited 10 volunteers willing to give passive stretching a go. We asked them to come in twice, and on each day they came in having not eaten overnight, and drank a sugary drink whilst we monitored their blood sugar levels.

20 minutes after drinking the drink, they either sat still (‘baseline’, day 1) or they were gently stretched for approximately 20 minutes (‘passive stretching’, day 2). During the stretching, they were carefully stretched 10 times, lasting 30 seconds for each stretch (6 lower body and 4 upper body stretches). Each 30 second stretch was repeated twice with 10-15 seconds in between each repetition and 15 seconds between each stretch. Ian and his colleagues measured the participants’ blood sugar levels three times: once straight before the sitting or stretching (t= 0 min), once straight

after the 20 minutes of sitting or stretching (t=20 min) and then, finally, 20 minutes after that (t=40 min). Ian also measured the volunteers’ energy expenditure in calories straight after the stretch, along with their heart rate. Blood sugar level results

When our volunteers weren’t being stretched, a sugary drink raised their blood sugar levels as you’d expect. But when their muscles were gently stretched after having the same drink, their blood sugar levels actually FELL and by 16% (making them 23% lower than the peak their blood sugar reached when they just sat still). It was a very surprising result. Heart rate results

Our volunteers’ heart rates were on average 17% higher with stretching compared to when they just sat still, going from an average of 67 beats per minute to an average of 78 beats per minute. This increase is in line with what you would expect during low (mild) intensity aerobic exercise, as the effort required was similar to taking a stroll. The heart rate reflects the effort expended.

Energy expenditure results

Our volunteers burned 126% more calories per hour as they were being stretched compared to when they were just sitting still. That’s nearly 100 (98.3) calories extra per hour without doing any exercise themselves! Now what if you were to stretch yourself rather than being passively stretched? Ian would expect to see a bigger effect, because you’re maneuvering yourself into those stretching positions and you’re applying more tension in the muscles. So, people who are disabled, very elderly or unable to do much physical exercise could really benefit from some careful stretching of their muscles by a suitably qualified person. And if you are able to stretch yourself – maybe try it whilst you’re watching TV to help burn those calories and bring your blood sugar levels down.
