Roller massage (RM) has been reported to reduce pain associated with exercise-induced muscle soreness and increase range of motion without force or activation impairments. The objective was to examine RM effects on evoked pain and contractile properties.
Twelve men received three sets of 30-s RM at a perceived discomfort level of 7/10 on a visual analogue scale on the ipsilateral (IPSI-R) stimulated plantar flexors (PF), contralateral PF (CONTRA-R), Sham (light rolling on stimulated PF), or Control. At pre-test, post-test, and 5-min post-test, they received evoked maximal twitch, tetanus, and 70% maximal tetanic stimulation, and performed a maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). Data analysis included perceived pain and contractile properties.
The 70% tetanus illustrated significant 9-10% increases in pain perception with Sham and Control at post- and 5-min post-test, respectively (p < 0.01). There was no pain augmentation with IPSI-R and CONTRA-R. There were no main effects or interactions for most contractile properties. However, MVIC force developed in the first 200 ms showed 9.5% (p = 0.1) and 19.1% (p = 0.03) decreases with IPSI-R at post-test and 5-min post-test.
Data suggest that RM-induced neural inhibition decreased MVIC F200 and nullified the testing-induced increase in evoked pain associated with 70% tetanic stimulation.
有报道称，滚轮按摩（RM）可减轻与运动引起的肌肉酸痛相关的疼痛，并在不影响力量或激活的情况下增加运动范围。目的是研究 RM 对诱发疼痛和收缩性能的影响。
12 名男性在视觉模拟量表上以 7/10 的感知不适水平对同侧（IPSI-R）刺激的跖屈肌（PF）、对侧 PF（CONTRA-R）、假侧（在刺激的 PF 上进行轻度滚动）或对照侧接受三组 30 秒 RM。在预测试、后测试和 5 分钟后测试时，他们接受了诱发的最大单收缩、强直和 70%最大强直刺激，并进行了最大自主等长收缩（MVIC）。数据分析包括感知疼痛和收缩性能。
70%强直刺激在假侧和对照侧后测试和 5 分钟后测试时分别显示出 9-10%的疼痛感知显著增加（p<0.01）。IPSI-R 和 CONTRA-R 没有引起疼痛增强。大多数收缩性能没有主要影响或相互作用。然而，在第一次 200 毫秒时，MVIC 力显示出在 200 毫秒时后测试和 5 分钟后测试时，IPSI-R 降低了 9.5%（p=0.1）和 19.1%（p=0.03）。
数据表明，RM 诱导的神经抑制降低了 MVIC F200，并消除了与 70%强直刺激相关的诱发疼痛测试引起的增加。
