“RiEnergy allows athletes to improve both their cool-downs and performance while sleeping”.

The everyday use of Tecnosix RiEnergy technology, by stimulating metabolism and microcirculation, allows ath- letes to reduce cooldown time and increase their perfor- mance; in particular, the unique RiEnergy technology enables athletes to use it during exercises breaks, and therefore also during their night’s rest.

5 4 NASA & ROSCOSMOS

Both the governmental body responsible for the space sci- ence program of Russia and NASA have studied and de- tected the changes of astronauts as a result of their long stays in space, even for relatively short periods of time. Examples of this deterioration include, but are not limited to, bones and soft tissues deterioration, but also depres- sion and insomnia. In light of these observations, scientists have investigated the causes of such deterioration phenomena and have discov- ered that the essential factor was the absence in the space of the Earth’s magnetic fi eld, which we do not notice but which is

• bviously extremely important

for the health of our body.

The research in this area, of which the cornerstone can be considered the study of 2003, lasting 4 years, conduct- ed at NASA’s laboratories by Dr. Thomas Goodwin, PhD on the ability of pulsed magnetic fi elds to improve the growth and repair of tissues in mammals, has led to the development of the technol-

• gy at the base of RiEnergy that, in fact,

technologically replaces the Earth’s nat- ural frequencies with similar electroni- cally generated signals. This new technology, ini- tially used mainly for the calcifi cation of the bones, has had in recent years a great interest on the part

• f athletes. Let us now ex-

plain some aspects. Our body is made of 100 thousand billion cells, all differ- ent for purposes and functions. These are then divided into more than 200 different cell types having nervous, muscular, coating purposes and functions, cells produc- ing substances, others absorbing them, etcetera. Each cell draws its energy to live in a completely autono- mous way and functions as a small engine powered by fuel (food) mixed with oxygen (transported by red blood cells through breathing) and activated by the trigger giv- en by the electrons supplied by mitochondria. If only one

• f these 3 factors is missing, all functions undergo slow-

ing or alteration.

ALIMENTI OSSIGENO INNESCO

FOOD AS FUEL

It is certainly the quality of what we eat that most affects the operation of our 100 thousand billions of engines; however, in this case, we will not deal with food, but rather with how to transport it to cells: in short, with blood circulation. Then, through the increase in circulation, we will indirectly connect to a very well-known topic, the acid-base balance, which today has been arousing the interest of re- search for its implications regarding both general health and athletes’ performance.

OXYGEN AS AN OXIDIZING AGENT

Life is related to the presence of oxygen, which is essential for all chemical reactions. More ef- fi ciently oxygen is transported to cells, more properly our 100 thousand billion of engines will

• work. Also in this case, we will not dwell on oxygen and its physiology but rather on how it is

transported to cells, that is blood circulation.

NASA AND ITS FINDINGS

CELLS: A SMALL ENGINE

www.sixtus.it www.sixtus.it

7 6 MITOCHONDRIA

All nucleated cells contain mi- tochondria that are the “power plants” of the cell: they produce the energy required for many cel- lular functions, such as movement, transport of substances etc.; they contain the enzymes necessary to cause the chemical reactions that recover the energy contained in food and store it up in special mol- ecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in which it is kept concen- trated and ready to use. Mitochondria take from the mole- cules derived from food the energy

• f the chemical bonds. This energy

is in the form of electrons. Oxidative phosphorylation reac- tions, the Krebs cycle and beta-

• xidation are among the main

chemical reactions involved in this process that leads to the forma- tion of ATP from food. If mitochondria are the “power plants” of the cell, in this analysis we will examine the mechanisms that bring nutrients to the cell (glu- cose and other substances as well as oxygen) and that make it pos- sible to enhance the production of ATP and thus to make available as much as possible of the energy for the body functions. The ATP produced during these processes in mitochondria en- hances the functions of our body most involved in physical activ- ity, such as breathing, circulation, movement, digestion and all other functions, of course.

ATP AS TRIGGER

Most cell processes use the same energy source as a trigger: adenosine triphosphate or ATP. Phosphate groups in this energy carrier are held together by high- energy chemical bonds. Under certain conditions, one of the phosphate groups may come

• ff, releasing energy. The energy

released is used for the reac- tions of our cells and therefore it has a direct impact on our life,

• n our performance and on our

well-being, of course. Once the phosphate group is re- leased, what remains is adeno- sine diphosphate (ADP). These ADP cells are then recharged to ATP. This process requires the use of energy, which comes from the food we eat. If we think about it, its function is that of a rechargeable battery that deliv- ers energy where it is needed and then recharges in a continu-

• us process.

LACTIC ACID

All athletes know that prolonged physical activity in anaerobic conditions leads to the produc- tion and storage of lactic acid. Today, all athletes and trainers, through specifi c training and feeding programs, aim to im- prove the aerobiosis threshold, i.e. these programs try, from the macroscopic point of view, to give cells more oxygen possible in order to limit the production

• f lactic acid, through lung respi-
• ration. Today, together with this

mechanism, we have RiEnergy technology, which enhances cellular respiration, “from the bottom”, always with the same

• bjective of reducing the pro-

duction of lactic acid, which is typical of anaerobic respiration. According to the Nobel Prize Dr. Otto Warburg, cells create and main- tain a natural difference in potential between the two sides (internal and external) of the cell membrane. Each cell is designed to have a positive charge on the outside and a negative charge inside. The out- side of the cell is charged with sodium ions, while the inside is loaded with potassium ions. The two charges are separated by the cell mem- brane, which acts as an insulator. Inside the cell there are ionic pumps pumping ions in and out of the cell through the cell membrane. Other potassium ions are pumped into the cell while the sodium ions are pumped out of the cell, positively charging the cell. The difference of electric potential (voltage) through the membrane is indicated as a trans membrane potential (TMP). The scientist has therefore classifi ed the cells according to their mem- brane potential by identifying some tag-groups. Dr. Warburg found that healthy people had cell voltages of 70-100 mV, while people with chronic diseases had cell potential between -30 and-50 mV. On this basis, many theories have been developed, such as that of the acid-base diet. Warburg argued that “the lack of oxygen and acidity are two sides of the same coin: if someone shows symptoms of the

• ne, he/she also shows symptoms of the other one”, that is to say, if

a person shows symptoms of having too much acid in his/her body, he/she will automatically show a lack of oxygen in his/her cell system. Warburg also argued that “acidic substances repel oxygen, unlike the alkaline ones, which attract

• xygen.” An acidic environment

is therefore an oxygen-free envi-

• ronment. In his works, Warburg

claimed that it is necessary to avoid by all means an acid and

• xygen-free

environment. In summary, healthy cells, in order to be maintained as such, must live in an oxygenated and alka- line environment able to allow them to work properly. Moreover, a correct diet accompanied by a healthy and non-sedentary life- style are the basis of the proper functioning of our cells. The new Rienergy technology of- fers a further help to those mech- anisms discovered by the Nobel Prize to maintain and improve the functioning of our cells, both for our daily wellbeing and, even more, for athletes.

“O. Warburg won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1931 for his discoveries on the nature and mechanism of action of the so-called Yellow enzyme (Warburg’s).”

• Performance improvement

It stimulates metabolism to improve performance, increases energy availability, and strengthens refl exes.

• Post-workout recovery

It speeds up recovery time, reduces the risk of sports injuries.

• Wellbeing

It has positive effects on general wellbeing, health and sleep, resulting in improved quality of life; it activates self-healing processes by stimulating microcirculation.

RiEnergy: AREAS OF APPLICATION

RiEnergy: DOES

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY REALLY BRING HEALTH BENEFITS?

Numerous clinical studies have shown that physical activity length- ens our life expectancy and pro- vides protection from chronic and age-related diseases. Any type of sport includes physical activity, but not all forms of sport correspond to natural movements

• f the body.

They are often movements repeat- ed in such a way as to be extremely unnatural for our physiology be- cause of their intensity; they may therefore cause accidents or inju- ries and the deterioration of joint structures. Professional athletes, given their continuous search for per- formance at the highest level, demand increasingly more to their bodies, often exceeding the physiological thresholds and bringing the muscular and nerv-

• us effort to extraordinary levels.

These continual psycho-physical performances at the highest lev- el, as can be well imagined, are even more harmful for muscles and joints, not only for their level but also for the very short ath- letes’ recovery times. Intense physical activity and in- suffi cient regeneration lead to an excess of acidosis and to the phenomenon called “over-train- ing”. The result is a reduction in performance and a greater like- lihood of injury. Thousands of people every year undergo seri-

• us sports trauma whether they

are professionals or not, includ- ing muscle tears, tendinitis, joint problems and fractures. This results in physical (but also business) activity disruption with serious damage to sports and non-sports clubs. Moreover, the excessive use of some joints and muscles due to compensa- tion can lead to chronic diseases

• r more simply to the classic

joint pain.

“Metabolism, growth, regeneration, healing,

• etc. are regulated

by electromagnetic mechanisms.”

Bioelectricity and electromagne- tism are the basis of life. Metabo- lism, growth, regeneration, healing,

• etc. are regulated by electromag-

netic mechanisms.

RiEnergy: DOES PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

REALLY BRING HEALTH BENEFITS?

RiEnergy induces a broadband electromagnetic fi eld with the same intensity as that of natural biological systems, thus improving the energy level of our body without side effects. RiEnergy acts on different physiological processes, such as a a better circulation, the increase of the partial pressure of

• xygen in the blood; moreover, it acts as an anti-traumatic

and anti-edema forming mechanism as well as an activator

• f the synthesis of some proteins.

By using this technology, the natural regeneration of our body’s tissues increases up to 30%. The rapid regeneration of the tissues worn by an excess

• f sports activities has become one of the decisive factors

in today’s sporting events, where the number of trainings, matches or competitions is ever-higher due to the pressing action of sponsors and televisions. A good warm-up is the prereq- uisite in any sports discipline to maximize performance and minimize the risk of injuries. However, at the same time, athletes need a lot of precious energy to warm-up properly. RiEnergy warms up muscle tis sues and activates metabolism without consuming energy; in this way, warm-up is minimized, and the energy saved is avail- able for competition or training.

““DOMS is the English acronym for Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness””

RiEnergy: cOOL-DOWns TO MiniMiZe DOMs

It has been observed that, by using RiEnergy on a traumatized tissue or on an edema, these latter are signif- icantly reduced in a much faster way; even the hardening of muscle tissues is prevented and/or diminished. Thanks to this increase in the synthesis of repair proteins there is a faster healing process, thus helping to prevent the disability related to sports and chronic pathologies.

When sleeping, and therefore when there is no need to have any active intervention on the part of athletes, this technology offers them both the chance to fall asleep earlier and to have a better and restorative sleep. As everybody knows, in fact, after an intense workout or a competition the high concentrations of adrena- line prevent athletes from falling asleep. Thanks to this new technology, which is able to resonate with brain waves, it will be possible to re- duce the times which are normally needed to fall asleep (also known as Schumann resonance). In addition, the ability to improve circulation will facilitate a faster elimination of the metabolic waste created by strenuous physical exer- tion.

Organization

Sixtus’ mission is to guar- antee health and maxi- mum physical wellbeing to its customers through pre- vention and rehabilitation. This mission – which in far

• ff 1974 appeared a chi-

mera in the world of sport, populated by a few skilled “health professionals” and by many, too many “sor- cerers” – has been pursued from the outset through 5 fundamental instruments:

• The quality of its prod-

ucts, studied specifically for a 360-degree physical activity including training, competition, injury treat- ment and rehabilitation;

• The prestige and reliabil-

ity of the companies pro- viding finished products and raw materials;

• Research and innovation;
• The professionalism of

its collaborators;

• The quality and timeli-

ness of its service.

SIXTUS ITALIA since 1974

Born in 1974, Sixtus Italia is now leader in the Italian market for the direct distribution to Sport Clubs, shops, medical and phys- iotherapy institutions of specific products for health and physical wellbeing. Due to the experience and success it has been acquiring in Italy for over 30 years, since 2005 Sixtus has expanded its own business to foreign markets so achieving an international recognition, which grows stronger every day and is a clear indication of the top quality of its products. The most significant brands that Sixtus distributes are: Sixtus (frost spray – oils/massage creams), Benped (foot care), Topsix (dietary supplements), Tensoplast – Strappal and BSN medical Line (bandages and taping), Master Protect (neoprene splints), PancaSix Evolution (ergonomic bench for physical exercises) and rehabilitation tools. Six- tus, in its Technology division, deals with the distribution and sale of electro medical and rehabilitation equipment. Sixtus’ leadership in its field is well testified by the fact that in sports – besides the National League of Baseball , Basketball, Football, Futsal, Hockey, American Football and Boxing Clubs, and extraordinary ath- letes such as Valentina Vezzali – there are 16 Football Clubs in A Series and 14 in B Series, not to mention all the other Basketball, Volley , Rugby, Cycling, Hockey, Football etc. Clubs that Sixtus supports in all aspects related to the area concerning health - wellness –prevention – recovery from injury. To this the most qualified medical and physiotherapy Institutes and the numerous stores that daily use the products and services that Six- tus makes available to them should be added. “Every day we do our best to look for innovative products and solu- tions to offer our customers. We believe that it is necessary to look around and improve continuously in order to remain competitive”, that is what the founders of the company say and this is the spirit in which Sixtus has been working for over 42 years.
