摘要

本研究探讨了器械辅助软组织松解术(IASTM)对职业足球运动员足底屈肌(PF)的柔韧性、力量、垂直跳跃和动态平衡性能的急性影响。研究人员使用格拉斯顿技术(GT)进行了肌筋膜松解。最后,对干预前后的背屈活动范围(DF ROM,动态关节角度计)、跳跃(My Jump 2 应用程序)、平衡(Y 平衡测试)和肌肉力量(手持测力计)进行了评估。 结果参与者的平均年龄为 21.93±3.47 岁。IASTM-GT能明显改善双侧DF ROM(p < 0.001)。此外,垂直跳跃成绩从 31.63 ± 4.65 厘米大幅提高到 32.72 ± 4.55 厘米(p < 0.05)。Y平衡测试显示,右侧所有方向(p <0.05)和左侧后外侧方向(p = 0.001)均有明显改善。总的来说,IASTM-GT 通过改善职业足球运动员的 PF 肌肉灵活性,迅速提高了 DF ROM、垂直跳跃和平衡能力。虽然没有观察到明显的肌肉力量改善,但 IASTM-GT 可能有助于预防受伤、提高表现和康复。

Acute effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization on the flexibility, strength, vertical jump, and dynamic balance performances of the plantar flexor muscle in professional football players

Objectives

This study examined the acute effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) on the flexibility, strength, vertical jump, and dynamic balance performance of the plantar flexor (PF) muscle in professional football players.

Methods

Forty professional healthy male football players participated in this study. Myofascial release was applied to individuals using the Graston technique (GT). In a session, GT was applied to the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles of the legs for 270 s. Finally, dorsiflexion range of motion (DF ROM, goniometer), jumping (My Jump 2 App), balance (Y balance test), and muscle strength (hand-held dynamometer) were evaluated before and immediately after the intervention.

Results

The mean age of the participants was 21.93 ± 3.47. IASTM-GT could significantly improve DF ROM bilaterally (p < 0.001). In addition, vertical jump performance significantly increased from 31.63 ± 4.65 cm to 32.72 ± 4.55 cm (p < 0.05). The Y balance test demonstrated significant improvements in all directions on the right side (p < 0.05) and the posterolateral direction on the left (p = 0.001). Total Y balance scores significantly increased (p < 0.05), while PF muscle strength represented no significant improvement (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

Overall, IASTM-GT acutely enhances DF ROM, vertical jump, and balance performance by improving PF muscle flexibility in professional football players. While no significant muscle strength improvement was observed, IASTM-GT may support injury prevention, performance enhancement, and rehabilitation.
