Download or read book The Effects Of Massage On Perceived Physical Soreness Pain And Markers of Inflammation Following High Intensity Unaccustomed Exercise written by Courtney Lynn Crow and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massage is often recommended to athletes to facilitate recovery and attenuate DOMS. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of massage on perceived muscle soreness and pain, inflammatory and immune markers, ROM, and mood state. Fourteen, recreationally active, women participated in a randomized crossover design study, consisting of 1) 60 min. full body massage following unaccustomed exercise and 2) 60 min. of rest. following unaccustomed exercise. Perceived muscle soreness and pain, active range of motion (ROM), mood state, along with blood concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), creatine kinase (CK), and neutrophil count (NC), was assessed at baseline, 4hrs, and 48hrs following both treatment and control conditions. The aims of this study were 1) to decrease the effects of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and increase time to recover, and 2) to investigate the effect of massage vs. passive rest on inflammatory and immune markers within the blood. We hypothesized 1) an increase in ROM, a decrease in perceived physical soreness and perceived physical pain, as a result of the massage, compared to control, and 2) a decrease in blood plasma inflammatory markers, CRP, NC, CK, and IL-6, as a result of the massage, compared to control. We found massage following exercise to 1) significantly decreased perceived pain (p=0.001), 2) significantly increased immune markers (WBC (p=0.012) and NC (p=0.012)), and 3) significantly decreased ROM (p=0.02), compared to control. Massage had no impact on inflammatory markers (IL-6, CRP, and CK), or mood.

This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s competitive sport environment, discovering effective methods of facilitating optimal athletic performance is paramount to success. The recovery period is essential in maintaining athletes’ physical and psychological well-being and crucial in the pursuit of intense physical training and satisfying performances. Recovery for Performance in Sport presents techniques and modalities currently used to enhance athletes’ recovery, optimize training time, and avoid overtraining. Edited by members of l’Institut National du Sport, de l'Expertise et de la Performance (INSEP), Christophe Hausswirth, and Iñigo Mujika, the text encompasses the latest scientific research in the study of recovery and draws from the experience of applied sport scientists working with elite athletes in leading performance and recovery centers. Readers will find proven strategies for enhancing the recovery process and learn the importance of structuring an individualized and evidenced-based recovery plan for improving performance. Appealing to a broad audience encompassing professionals, athletes, coaches, and students, Recovery for Performance in Sport provides a scientific base of information as well as specific elements that allow for practical application in the real world. More than 30 international professionals contributed to chapter content, including case studies of international athletes and coaches. These case studies complement the scientific explanations by bringing additional context to the discussion of safe recovery modalities and how to apply those concepts to specific sports. Cutting-edge research and techniques allow readers to maximize the recovery of their athletes by learning from the proven strategies of international experts. Recovery for Performance in Sport is divided into four parts, each presenting scientific knowledge, practical applications, and related case studies. The first two parts focus on the physiology of optimal training, how to prevent overtraining, and how to peak for optimal performance. Part III is a discussion of current recovery modalities along with strategies for optimizing recovery through the combination of modalities. Focusing on recovery at the muscular level, this part discusses nutrition strategies, electrostimulation, compression, massage, and immersion procedures, among others. Part IV of the text considers situations that offer unique variables to consider when choosing recovery techniques. Differences between men and women in postexercise recovery are detailed along with a current discussion of thermoregulatory responses and adaptations to exercise and heat stress. Consideration is also given to the interventions used to alleviate thermal strain and the limitations of various recovery strategies after exercise in the heat. The physiological responses to altitude exposure and its impact on performance and various factors related to recovery are also discussed along with practical recommendations to facilitate altitude adaptation and recovery. Recovery is one of the least understood and most under-researched components of the exercise-adaptation cycle. Yet, the importance of the recovery period cannot be overstated considering that athletes spend more time in recovery than in active training and that many adaptations to training take place during the recovery period. The current knowledge and applied information featured in Recovery for Performance in Sport will assist readers in improving the recovery process to help athletes achieve easier adaptation to training loads, lower their risk of overload and injury, and ultimately improve athletic performance.

Book Biomechanical Performance and Relevant Mechanism of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation for Neuromusculoskeletal Disorders

Download or read book Biomechanical Performance and Relevant Mechanism of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation for Neuromusculoskeletal Disorders written by Qipeng Song and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biomechanical performance is a key to evaluating effectiveness in physical medicine and rehabilitation for neuromusculoskeletal disorders. Assessments can be applied to degenerative dysfunction (e.g., falls or knee osteoarthritis in older adults) and sports-related injuries (e.g., ankle sprain or anterior cruciate ligament injury). Patients' body movements and daily activity functions can be compared to the state of pre-injury condition or to the level of healthy individuals. Some cutting-edge studies have gone a step further and used biomechanical performance to develop physical medicine and rehabilitation approaches and explore the mechanisms behind their effectiveness. However, such studies are still relatively rare. This research topic is intended to encourage more relevant projects to be published. This research topic aims to encourage researchers to use biomechanical performance to design advanced physical medicine and rehabilitation approaches, evaluate the effectiveness of the rehabilitation approaches, and explore the mechanisms by which rehabilitation approaches work for neuromusculoskeletal disorders. Some studies have developed stretching approaches for the rehabilitation of knee osteoarthritis in older adults by measuring biomechanical performance during functional activities. Some studies indicated that the mechanism of physical activity to reduce falls in older adults lies in its effectiveness in increasing proprioceptive sensitivity, and further indicated that rehabilitation of proprioception may be a key to reducing falls in the fall-prone older adult population. Some other studies analyzed biomechanical performance in ankle ligament injuries to understand when, how, and why ligaments fail. As a result, this research topic will expand the application of biomechanical performance to better understand and treat neuromusculoskeletal disorders.

Book The Acute Effect of the Percussive Massage Treatment on Physical Recovery

Download or read book The Acute Effect of the Percussive Massage Treatment on Physical Recovery written by Jahaira Panduro Ramirez and published by . This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effects of the percussive massage (PM) treatment on physical recovery of pain and delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a lat pull-down exercise. Ten untrained female Hanover College students, who do not exercise regularly, served as participants. All subjects completed two trials which were randomized and balanced. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of the two different conditions: two minutes of percussive massage treatment applied to the arms or no percussive massage treatment. Subjects completed the remaining trial after a week of rest. It was hypothesized that delayed onset muscle soreness, as determined by range of motion (ROM), will be reduced by the percussive massage treatment versus no percussive massage treatment and visual analogue scale (VAS) will increase with both percussive massage treatment and no treatment, but less with PM treatment. Data collection indicates that the PM treatment was not found (p > 0.05) to be significantly different compared to no recovery intervention after 24 hours and 48 hours as measured by ROM. Muscle soreness ratings with PM intervention were found to be significantly lower (p

Book Effect of Massage like Compressive Loading on Muscle Mechanical Properties

Download or read book Effect of Massage like Compressive Loading on Muscle Mechanical Properties written by Caroline Marie Burrell Haas and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Acute and chronic skeletal muscle pain and weakness are among the most common ailments treated by physicians. Minimizing this pain and weakness is of critical importance considering high exercise attrition rate in patients with muscle dysfunction, as well as the direct economic burden of physical inactivity, in excess of 76 billion dollars annually in the United States. Although the effectiveness of massage for overcoming muscle pain and weakness following exercise is limited to a few high quality studies, Americans make more than 160 million visits annually to seek relief of musculoskeletal weakness and pain by manipulative, body-based practices. However, neither the mechanisms of actions nor the effectiveness or optimal strategies for massage therapies have been conclusively demonstrated. In order to achieve an optimal efficacy for any therapy, it is essential to understand the molecular basis of its actions. In this dissertation, in vivo mechanisms of massage-mediated biomechanical signals that may limit muscle inflammation, weakness, and damage were explored. We determined a combined magnitude, frequency, and duration of massage (via a customized pneumatic device) that optimized functional recovery following eccentric exercise through quantification of active (peak isometric torque) and passive (stress relaxation) muscle mechanical properties. In particular by: (A) identifying the most effective combination of massage parameters (0.25 or 0.5 Hz, 5 or 10N, 15 or 30 min), (B) quantifying muscle membrane disruption and myofiber damage, and (C) using the quasi-linear viscoelasticity (QLV) model to study passive time-dependent responses of skeletal muscle to repeated massage-like compressive loading (MLL) following damaging eccentric exercise. Mechanical properties of the tibialis anterior of New Zealand White rabbits were tested prior to one bout of eccentric exercise, post exercise, and pre and post four consecutive days of massage. The contralateral hind limb served as the non-exercised control. The 0.5Hz, 10N, 15min protocol produced greatest peak torque recovery, values approximately equal to pre-eccentric exercise (EEX). There were no significant interactions between or among the parameters. This is the first evidence of a dose-response effect for magnitude and frequency of massage on recovery of in vivo active muscle properties following EEX. This relationship was also seen for the passive properties, with the 0.5Hz, 10N, 15 min protocol showing the an accelerated recovery of muscle viscoelastic properties. With no significant differences in either instantaneous elastic or reduced relaxation response of the muscle between the 0.5Hz, 10N, 15 and 30 min protocols. The previous work was extended by comparing the effect of immediate vs. delayed application of massage on peak torque recovery following intense EEX. While there is clinical significance of both immediate and delayed massage producing enhanced recovery compared to non-massaged control animals, massage beginning 48 hours post EEX had a significantly diminished effect in restoring function of EEX muscle compared to immediate massage. These data provide a starting point for linking the mechanical properties of skeletal muscle with physical therapies, and may shed light on the design and optimization of therapeutic massage based therapies for recovery from EEX in humans.

This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2016 in the subject Physical Therapy / Occupational Therapy, course: Kinesiology, language: English, abstract: Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is musculoskeletal pain resulting from physical activity. DOMS affects athletic performance, therefore therapy is of interest to athletes. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of localized vibration (biomechanical muscle stimulation, BMS) on biomarkers of DOMS following eccentric cycling, and to test changes in muscle length and soreness. We investigated if BMS reduces DOMS and enhances muscle function following eccentric exercise and if creatine kinase (CK), lactate, and pain were affected. Twenty-eight recreationally active men (18 - 40 years old) were randomized into control or BMS groups. Subjects performed 5 minutes of eccentric cycling, then either received BMS, or rested. Outcome variables, plasma creatine kinase, blood lactate, pain scores (Likert), muscle length, muscle pain (self-reported), and pressure algometry were collected at four intervals (baseline, pre-cycling, 24 hours post-cycling, and 48 hours post). A main effect of time was found for quadriceps pain threshold (F(3, 78) = 3.02, p = 0.04). A main effect of time was found regarding an increase in lactate (p = .016; T0 to T1) and decrease in lactate (p = .025; T1 to T3). A main effect of time for Likert pain score was found pre-cycling versus post-cycling (p = .0001). There were no significant interactions between group (BMS or control) and time. This study does not support our hypotheses regarding localized vibration and recovery from DOMS. However, we found significance regarding a main effect of time for pain threshold in the quadriceps, Likert pain score, and lactate level.
