简要总结
In this study, 45 healthy participants between 20 and 40 of age will be included. After obtaining the consent, the participants will be categorized into two(A&B) groups randomly for cross-over study. Each of group will accept either conventional taping or Chinese medicine technique taping before muscle fatigue exercise. To compare the preventive effect, Myoton PRO, pulse analysis equipment, etc will be applied for evaluation. The application of Chinese medicine technique (ie. Chinese medicine functional reduction) taking the kinetic chain into consideration may improve body's functional movement.
详细描述
Nowadays, the importance of exercise is highly valued. The prevalence of sports injury is also increasing and may be associated with muscle fatigue. Therefore, the study focused on the prevention of common muscle fatigue in legs during exercise. With the modern sport medicine knowledge and kinesio taping, the investigators tried to figure out whether muscle fatigue can be diminished through the concept of Chinese medicine channel sinews techniques in advance. In this study, 45 healthy participants between 20 and 40 of age will be included. The exclusion criteria are as follows: i.pregnancy ii.current health problem iii.injuries of legs within a month. After obtaining the consent, the participants will be categorized into two(A&B) groups randomly for cross-over study. Each of group will accept either conventional taping or Chinese medicine technique taping before muscle fatigue exercise. To compare the preventive effect, Myoton PRO, pulse analysis equipment, etc will be applied for evaluation. The application of Chinese medicine technique (ie. Chinese medicine functional reduction) taking the kinetic chain into consideration may improve body's functional movement. Our goal is to enhance the coordination of the entire body structure, not merely the partial body structure improvement. In this way, it will benefit the prevention of exercise injuries and therapeutic effect.

结局指标
主要结局
Muscle tone
时间窗: one week
The soft tissue will be evaluated by Myoton PRO. The muscle tone is measured by the "oscillation frequency (HZ)" characterizing the tone of a muscle in its passive or resting state without any voluntary contraction. Abnormally high muscle tine would slow the muscle recovery.
Muscle stiffness
时间窗: one week
The soft tissue will be evaluated by Myoton PRO. The muscle stiffness is evaluated by the "dynamic stiffness (N/m)" characterizing the resistance to a contraction or to an external force that deforms its initial shape. Abnormally high stiffness may lead to an inefficient economy of movement.
Muscle elasticity
时间窗: one week
The muscle elasticity is evaluated by the "logarithmic decrement" of a tissue's natural oscillation characterizing the ability to recover its initial shape after a contraction of removal an external force of deformation. If the decrement of a muscle decreases, the muscle elasticity increases.
Muscle relaxation
时间窗: one week
The muscle relaxation is evaluated by the "mechanical stress relaxation time (ms)" characterizing the time for a muscle to recover its shape from deformation after a voluntary contraction or a removal of an external force.
Muscle creep
时间窗: one week
The creep is evaluated by the "ratio of deformation and relaxation time" characterizing the gradual elongation of tissue over time when placed under a constant tensile stress.
次要结局
- Pain scale(one week)
- Pulse wave(one week)
