The purpose of this study was to determine if vibration therapy is more effective than the standard treatment of stretching and massage for improving recovery of muscle strength and reducing muscle soreness after muscle damage induced by eccentric exercise.
A randomized, single-blinded parallel intervention trial design was used.
Research laboratory.
Fifty untrained men aged 18 to 30 years completed the study.
Participants performed 100 maximal eccentric muscle actions (ECCmax) of the right knee extensor muscles. For the next 7 days, 25 participants applied cycloidal vibration therapy to the knee extensors twice daily and 25 participants performed stretching and sports massage (SSM) twice daily.
Changes in markers of muscle damage [peak isometric torque (PIT), serum creatine kinase (CK), and serum myoglobin (Mb)], muscle soreness (visual analog scale), and inflammation [serum C-reactive protein (CRP)] were assessed.
After ECCmax, there was no difference in recovery of PIT and muscle soreness or serum CK, Mb, and CRP levels between vibration and SSM groups (P > 0.28).
Cycloidal vibration therapy is no more effective than the standard practice of stretching and massage to promote muscle recovery after the performance of muscle-damaging exercise.
Prescription of vibration therapy after maximal exercise involving eccentric muscle damage did not alleviate signs and symptoms of muscle damage faster than the standard prescription of stretching and massage.
本研究旨在确定振动疗法在改善离心运动引起的肌肉损伤后肌肉力量恢复和减轻肌肉酸痛方面是否比拉伸和按摩的标准治疗更有效。
采用随机、单盲平行干预试验设计。
研究实验室。
50名年龄在18至30岁之间的未经训练的男性完成了该研究。
参与者对右膝伸肌进行100次最大离心肌肉动作（ECCmax）。在接下来的7天里，25名参与者每天对膝伸肌进行两次摆线振动疗法，25名参与者每天进行两次拉伸和运动按摩（SSM）。
评估肌肉损伤标志物[等长收缩峰值扭矩（PIT）、血清肌酸激酶（CK）和血清肌红蛋白（Mb）]、肌肉酸痛（视觉模拟评分）和炎症[血清C反应蛋白（CRP）]的变化。
在进行ECCmax后，振动组和SSM组在PIT恢复、肌肉酸痛或血清CK、Mb和CRP水平方面没有差异（P>0.28）。
在进行肌肉损伤运动后，摆线振动疗法在促进肌肉恢复方面并不比拉伸和按摩的标准做法更有效。
在涉及离心肌肉损伤的最大运动后，振动疗法的处方在减轻肌肉损伤的体征和症状方面并不比拉伸和按摩的标准处方更快。
