Effects of Self-Myofascial Released and Sports Massage on Exercise Performance and Fatigue Recovery in Male College Students

2017

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of self-myofascial release exercise (SMR) and sports massage (SM) treatment on exercise performance and fatigue recovery in male college students. METHODS Twelve male college students (23.41±1.24 years, 174.33±6.75 cm, 71.57±9.63 kg, 17.01±6.48% fat) participated in the study. Subjects were randomly assigned to either an experimental treatment (SMR or SM) or control (CON). All subjects were performed with 1st treatment (CON, SMR, SM) for 10 minutes in the lower limbs before isokinetic exercise and Wingate test. After 1st treatment, Wingate test was performed for 30 seconds after performing isokinetic exercise at 240°/sec left and right 28 times. After isokinetic exercise and Wingate test (All-out), 2nd treatment was performed for 10 minutes. In order to analyze creatine kinase (CK) and lactate, blood was collected and measured 9 times in total. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the left and right endurance, maximal power, and total workload of the extension and flexor muscles measured by isokinetic exercise. In addition, there was no significant difference in the mean power (p=.116), maximum power (p=.214), fatigue index (p=.236), and total workload (p=.108) during Wingate test. In the case of CK and lactate levels, there was also no significant difference in treatment (CON, SMR, SM) and interaction effect except over time (p=.000, p=.000 respectively). CONCLUSIONS In conclusion, it seems that fatigue recovery and exercise performance are not affected by self-myopia relaxation exercise and sports massage treatment for 10-minute before and after exercise.
