Abstract

Objective

To determine the effects of traditional Thai massage (TTM) on improving fatigue recovery and fatigue-related parameters of the gastrocnemius muscle after a heel-raise exercise.

Design

A single-blind randomised controlled trial.

Setting

Mae Fah Luang University Hospital, Thailand.

Participants

Fifty-four healthy participants were randomly assigned to two groups: TTM (n = 27; 51.85 % women; mean age 23.15 ± 4.90 years; number of exercises/week: 4.78 ± 1.58) and control (n = 27; 59.26 % women; mean age 22.63 ± 4.88 years; number of exercises/week: 4.48 ± 1.25).

Interventions

After the participants performed a heel-raise exercise to induce fatigue of the gastrocnemius muscle, they received either 30 min of TTM to the gastrocnemius muscle or 30 min of control (29 min of rest and 1 min total gastrocnemius stretching).

Outcome measures

The outcome measures were the median frequency (MDF) of the electromyography signal, muscle power (MP) and feelings of muscle fatigue (FMF). All the outcome measures were evaluated before (T1) and after (T2) the fatigue-inducement protocol as well as immediately (T3), 1 h (T4) and 2 h (T5) after the interventions.

Results

The results show that MDF and MP were significantly increased and FMF significantly decreased in both groups immediately after the interventions and at 1 h and 2 h after the interventions (repeated measures ANOVA: p < .05). In the between-group comparisons, participants in the TTM group showed significantly greater improvement than those in the control group on all outcomes at all post-intervention assessment time points (T3, T4, T5), reflecting faster recovery from muscle fatigue (ANCOVA: p < .05).

Conclusion

TTM proved an effective intervention for maximising recovery from fatigue of the gastrocnemius muscle.

传统泰式按摩对腓肠肌疲劳恢复的影响：单盲随机对照试验

目的确定传统泰式按摩（TTM）对改善提踵运动后腓肠肌的疲劳恢复和疲劳相关参数的影响：TTM（n = 27；51.85 % 为女性；平均年龄为 23.15 ± 4.90 岁；每周锻炼次数为 4.78 ± 1.58）：4.78 ± 1.58）和对照组（n = 27；59.26 % 为女性；平均年龄为 22.63 ± 4.88 岁；每周运动次数为 4.48 ± 1.25）：干预参与者进行提踵运动以诱发腓肠肌疲劳后，接受 30 分钟的腓肠肌 TTM 或 30 分钟的对照组（29 分钟休息和 1 分钟的腓肠肌拉伸）。结果测量结果测量为肌电信号的中位频率 (MDF)、肌肉力量 (MP) 和肌肉疲劳感 (FMF)。结果结果表明，两组在干预前（T1）、干预后（T2）以及干预后立即（T3）、1 小时（T4）和 2 小时（T5）的 MDF 和 MP 均显著增加，而 FMF 则显著减少（重复测量方差分析：P < .05）。在组间比较中，在干预后的所有评估时间点（T3、T4、T5），TTM 组的参与者在所有结果上都比对照组的参与者有明显的改善，反映出肌肉疲劳恢复得更快（方差分析：p < .05）。
