Sponsor's own description

Movement is important for overall health. Lack of movement has been shown to be associated with numerous diseases. This study will assess the validity and usefulness of two innovative low risk, non-invasive wellness devices, the Gentle Jogger® and the Gentle Jumper that passively simulate the physical activities of jogging and jumping, respectively. The study will evaluate whether or not each of the devices in different body postures (seated, lying down, slight recumbent and slight head down) produces changes in blood pressure, and indices of dilatation of blood vessels, in a younger (25-59yr) and older (\> 60 yrs.) subject population. Volunteers will be paid for their participation in the study.

A substudy of this larger study ( Effects of Gentle Jogger on blood pressure), will determine the effects of 30 min of gentle jogger in seated and supine posture compared to Sham
