The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the "Omura's ST.36 point" (True ST.36) needling of young soccer players with the Wingate test. The Wingate test is a widely used and very well known ergometric bicycle test to measure anaerobic power. The Bi-Digital O-Ring Test (B.D.O.R.T.) of Yoshiaki Omura, M.D., Sc.D. was used to determine the "Omura's ST.36 point" (True ST.36). Young soccer players (N = 20) between 15-16 years of age (Mean = 15.25 +/- 0.44) were involved in the study. Subjects were divided into two groups (ST.36 and Omura's ST.36) randomly. The groups were statistically similar in respect to their number, age, height and weight respectively, N = 10; 15.40 +/- 0.52, 15.10 +/- 0.32; 171.50 +/- 3.57, 171.00 +/- 4.81; 65.60 +/- 4.01, 61.50 +/- 4.77. The anaerobic power of the subjects were measured using Monark 894E ergometric bicycle. The breaking resistance was 75 g per kg of body weight of the subjects. The peak power, average power, minimum power and power drop were measured as absolute values and per kg of body weight. Subjects were tested twice, with and without acupuncture application. In one group needling was on ST.36, and in the other group it was on "Omura's ST.36 point." Before each test, subjects warmed up for 5 minutes by cycling on the same ergometer at 60 rotations per minute (RPM), without load. Statistically significant increases were measured with the needling of Omura's ST 36 point in peak power (p < 0.01), and relative peak power (p < 0.01) in comparison to Wingate test results without needling. ST.36 needling showed statistically insignificant increases of the same measurements and comparison. We conclude that needling of both points, but especially Omura's ST.36, seem to be effective for increasing the anaerobic power of young soccer players measured with Wingate anaerobic power test. More research is needed to support these findings in all aspects.
本研究旨在通过温盖特测试调查对年轻足球运动员针刺“大村氏足三里穴”（真足三里穴）的效果。温盖特测试是一种广泛使用且广为人知的用于测量无氧功率的测力计自行车测试。医学博士、理学博士大村义明的双指套环测试（B.D.O.R.T.）用于确定“大村氏足三里穴”（真足三里穴）。15至16岁（平均 = 15.25 +/- 0.44）的年轻足球运动员（N = 20）参与了该研究。受试者被随机分为两组（足三里组和大村氏足三里组）。两组在人数、年龄、身高和体重方面分别具有统计学相似性，N = 10；15.40 +/- 0.52，15.10 +/- 0.32；171.50 +/- 3.57，171.00 +/- 4.81；65.60 +/- 4.01，61.50 +/- 4.77。使用莫纳克894E测力计自行车测量受试者的无氧功率。制动阻力为受试者体重每公斤75克。峰值功率、平均功率、最小功率和功率下降以绝对值和每公斤体重进行测量。受试者在针刺和未针刺的情况下各测试两次。一组针刺足三里穴，另一组针刺“大村氏足三里穴”。每次测试前，受试者在同一测力计上以每分钟60转（RPM）无负载骑行5分钟进行热身。与未针刺的温盖特测试结果相比，针刺大村氏足三里穴在峰值功率（p < 0.01）和相对峰值功率（p < 0.01）方面有统计学显著增加。针刺足三里穴时相同测量值和比较结果显示统计学上无显著增加。我们得出结论，针刺这两个穴位，尤其是大村氏足三里穴，似乎对提高通过温盖特无氧功率测试测量的年轻足球运动员的无氧功率有效。需要更多研究从各个方面支持这些发现。
