A common issue among athletes is muscle fatigue, a brief and transient reduction in the potential of skeletal muscle strength after engaging in muscular activity. A high-quality clinical investigation to evaluate the impact of dry needling (DN) on athletes' muscle fatigue is lacking. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of DN on quadriceps muscle fatigue in taekwondo players.
A triple-blind, randomized, controlled trial will be conducted to measure changes in quadriceps muscle fatigue after DN. Eighty-eight taekwondo players who meet the eligibility criteria will be selected to receive either DN or sham needling to the quadriceps muscle after exercise. Three assessments will be performed before the exercise, after exercise fatigue, and after intervention. The outcomes measured will be isometric peak torque, single-leg hop test, and vertical jump test.
The results of this study will provide preliminary evidence regarding the effectiveness of DN in improving quadriceps muscle fatigue in taekwondo players.

运动员中一个常见问题是肌肉疲劳,即进行肌肉活动后骨骼肌力量潜力出现短暂和临时性下降。目前缺乏一项高质量临床研究来评估干针疗法(DN)对运动员肌肉疲劳的影响。因此,本研究旨在考察DN对跆拳道运动员股四头肌疲劳的影响。
将进行一项三盲、随机、对照试验,以测量DN后股四头肌疲劳的变化。将选取88名符合入选标准的跆拳道运动员,在运动后对其股四头肌进行DN或假针刺。将在运动前、运动疲劳后和干预后进行三项评估。测量的结果将是等长峰值扭矩、单腿跳测试和垂直跳测试。
本研究结果将为DN改善跆拳道运动员股四头肌疲劳的有效性提供初步证据。
