Medicine from NASA arrived at the training camp

Astronauts turn to IVT

"We are regenerating, getting back on our feet, pushing hard for Romania"

"The players feel an accumulation, a fatigue, but we are on the right track, and at the time of the match with Belgium we will be one hundred percent from a physical point of view. We regenerate, get back on our feet, shoot hard for Romania, for victory" was the message sent to GSP.RO from within the team.

And in order for the players to have top conditions, like the great teams of the world, the staﬀ of the national team made their plans as per the book, since Bucharest.In the Würzburg camp, in a special room, two intermittent vacuum machines were installed. It is used alternatively by the players, after they have already been tested at the training camp in Mogoșoaia, before leaving for Germany. Technology that also reduces the risk of injuries

What happens to these machines and what do they help players do?

"The devices work on the principle of applying negative pressure followed by positive pressure, thus creating a cycle of vasoconstriction and vasodilation. This process brings signiﬁcant beneﬁts to the cardiovascular system and contributes to the revascularization of the aﬀected tissues, facilitating their recovery"

Claudiu Stamatescu, the doctor of Romania's national football team, explained to the oﬃcial website of the FRF that this advanced technology is intended to reduce the risk of injuries. Demonstrating the team's ability to adopt and use the most modern methods in sports training.

“Astronauts turn to intermittent vacuum therapy”

Intermittent vacuum therapy originates from NASA's medical research on the eﬀects of outer space on human health, Which points out that "it has been found that astronauts in weightlessness must be subjected to negative pressure (Lower than atmospheric pressure) every 10 hours to avoid complications in the cardiovascular system.Practically, intermittent vacuum therapy is the only way to ensure adequate blood circulation in the lower limbs, in conditions of very low or non-existent severity.
