근막이완 기법과 심부 근육 마사지가 운동 후 체내 생리적, 심리적 회복에 미치는 영향 분석

Abstract

The study investigated the most effect management for delay onset of muscle soreness(DOMS) and psychological stability by comparison between myofascial release technique(MR technique) and deep tissue massage(DT massage). Fifteen young males who performed strength exercise by weight lifting were divided into MR technique(n=5), DT massage(n=5) and control group(CG, n=5). Each therapeutic procedure was done twice at a week after training and visual analogue scale(VAS) of DOMS at 24 hours and 48 hours after training were checked, respectively. After 4 weeks, flexibility, muscle size and psychological effect on anxiety, depression, stress and sleep quality of each groups were evaluated. The results of the difference between before and after the treatment are as follows. For DOMS and flexibility, DT massage was most effective for relieving soreness(p=.016). DT massage and MF technique showed more effective in providing psychological stability compared with CG(p<.001). No significant differences were found between three groups on muscle size increase. In between three groups, DT massage is most effective on DOMS and psychological stability.
