OSCILLATORS IN THE HUMAN-BODY AND CIRCULAR-MUSCLE GYMNASTICS

There is a growing body of literature about the role of oscillators in the living body, and about the interactions between different oscilla tors. Considering the importance of endogenous oscillators in regulati ng the body's functions, and the existence of 'dynamical diseases', di seases of control systems which involve oscillators in the body, a way to mend disfunctioning oscillators seems to be needed. Circular-muscl e gymnastics, a method of physical activity which has been developed i n Israel, reveals some phenomena which may point in a promising direct ion. Some of these phenomena call to mind known facts and theories abo ut oscillators and their effects.
