Postexercise massage can be used to help promote recovery from exercise on the cellular level, as well as systemically by increasing parasympathetic activity. No studies to date have been done to assess the effects of massage on postexercise metabolic changes, including excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of massage recovery and resting recovery on a subject's heart rate variability and selected metabolic effects following a submaximal treadmill exercise session.
One healthy 24-year-old female subject performed 30 minutes of submaximal treadmill exercise prior to resting or massage recovery sessions. Metabolic data were collected throughout the exercise sessions and at three 10 minute intervals postexercise. Heart rate variability was evaluated for 10 minutes after each of two 30-minute recovery sessions, either resting or massage.
Heart rate returned to below resting levels (73 bpm) with 30 and 60 minutes of massage recovery (72 bpm and 63 bpm, respectively) compared to 30 and 60 minutes of resting recovery (77 bpm and 74 bpm, respectively). Heart rate variability data showed a more immediate shift to the parasympathetic state following 30 minutes of massage (1.152 LF/HF ratio) versus the 30-minute resting recovery (6.91 LF/HF ratio). It took 60 minutes of resting recovery to reach similar heart rate variability levels (1.216 LF/HF) found after 30 minutes of massage. Ventilations after 30 minutes of massage recovery averaged 7.1 bpm compared to 17.9 bpm after 30 minutes of resting recovery.
No differences in EPOC were observed through either the resting or massage recovery based on the metabolic data collected. Massage was used to help the subject shift into parasympathetic activity more quickly than rest alone following a submaximal exercise session.
运动后按摩可用于在细胞水平上帮助促进运动恢复，也可通过增加副交感神经活动在全身层面促进恢复。迄今为止，尚未有研究评估按摩对运动后代谢变化的影响，包括运动后过量氧耗（EPOC）。本研究的目的是比较按摩恢复和静息恢复对受试者在次最大强度跑步机运动后的心率变异性及选定代谢效应的影响。
一名健康的24岁女性受试者在静息或按摩恢复之前进行30分钟的次最大强度跑步机运动。在整个运动过程以及运动后三个10分钟间隔内收集代谢数据。在30分钟的静息或按摩恢复中的每一次恢复后，对心率变异性进行10分钟评估。
与30分钟和60分钟的静息恢复（分别为77次/分钟和74次/分钟）相比，按摩恢复30分钟（72次/分钟）和60分钟（63次/分钟）时心率恢复到静息水平以下（73次/分钟）。心率变异性数据显示，按摩30分钟后（低频/高频比值为1.152）比静息恢复30分钟后（低频/高频比值为6.91）更迅速地转向副交感神经状态。静息恢复60分钟才能达到按摩30分钟后发现的类似心率变异性水平（低频/高频比值为1.216）。按摩恢复30分钟后的通气平均为7.1次/分钟，而静息恢复30分钟后为17.9次/分钟。
根据收集的代谢数据，在静息或按摩恢复中均未观察到运动后过量氧耗的差异。在次最大强度运动后，按摩比单纯休息能帮助受试者更快地转向副交感神经活动。
