Effect of dry needling on quadriceps muscles fatigue in taekwondo players: A protocol for a triple-blinded randomized controlled trial
Background
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.
Methods
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.
Conclusions
The results of this study will provide preliminary evidence regarding the effectiveness of DN in improving quadriceps muscle fatigue in taekwondo players.
期刊介绍:
Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is an international peer reviewed open access journal that publishes articles pertaining to all aspects of clinical trials, including, but not limited to, design, conduct, analysis, regulation and ethics. Manuscripts submitted should appeal to a readership drawn from a wide range of disciplines including medicine, life science, pharmaceutical science, biostatistics, epidemiology, computer science, management science, behavioral science, and bioethics. Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is unique in that it is outside the confines of disease specifications, and it strives to increase the transparency of medical research and reduce publication bias by publishing scientifically valid original research findings irrespective of their perceived importance, significance or impact. Both randomized and non-randomized trials are within the scope of the Journal. Some common topics include trial design rationale and methods, operational methodologies and challenges, and positive and negative trial results. In addition to original research, the Journal also welcomes other types of communications including, but are not limited to, methodology reviews, perspectives and discussions. Through timely dissemination of advances in clinical trials, the goal of Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications is to serve as a platform to enhance the communication and collaboration within the global clinical trials community that ultimately advances this field of research for the benefit of patients.
