The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of percussive massage therapy (PMT) on lifeguards’ recovery after a water rescue, in comparison with passive recovery. Methods: A quasi-experimental crossover design was conducted to compare passive recovery (PR) and a PMT protocol. A total of 14 volunteer lifeguards performed a simulated 100 m water rescue and perceived fatigue and blood lactate were measured as recovery variables after the rescue and after the 8-min recovery process. Results: There were no differences between PMT and PR in lactate clearance (p > 0.05), finding in both modalities a small but not significant decrease in blood lactate. In perceived fatigue, both methods decreased this variable significantly (p < 0.001), with no significant differences between them (p > 0.05). Conclusions: PMT does not enhance recovery after a water rescue, in comparison with staying passive. Despite PMT appearing to be adequate for recovery in other efforts, it is not recommended for lifeguards’ recovery after a water rescue.
本研究旨在分析与被动恢复相比,冲击按摩疗法(PMT)对救生员水上救援后恢复情况的影响。方法:采用准实验交叉设计来比较被动恢复(PR)和PMT方案。共有14名志愿者救生员进行了模拟100米水上救援,并在救援后以及8分钟恢复过程后测量了感知疲劳和血乳酸作为恢复变量。结果:PMT和PR在乳酸清除方面没有差异(p>0.05),两种方式的血乳酸均有小幅但不显著的下降。在感知疲劳方面,两种方法均显著降低了该变量(p<0.001),两者之间无显著差异(p>0.05)。结论:与保持被动相比,PMT并不能增强水上救援后的恢复。尽管PMT在其他运动后的恢复中似乎足够,但不建议用于救生员水上救援后的恢复。
