| Abstract |
To look in to the exercise-physiological effect of sports massage during recovery, we compared between static recovery and sports massage recovery after the graded maximum exercise and examined the fatigue inducing substances in blood; ammonia, inorganic phosphate and magnesium. The 8 university students were tested repeatedly at an interval of 1 week. The maximum heart rates were based on 202 beat/min and those were expected by ages of volunteers to figure out the maximum exercise. During the 20 minutes of resting period, after the maximum exercise, In sports massage recovery, in overall factor significant changes came out, but in static recovery, no changes were found between before and after. On the one hand ammonia and inorganic phosphate level were significantly different between static recovery and sports massage recovery. A difference of magnesium level was not significant. In conclusion, sports massage has a positive effect on changes of ammonia and inorganic phosphate concentration, those are fatigue inducing substances in blood. Therefore, sports massage treatment can be an effective way for fast fatigue recovery after the exercise. |
