Statik Germe Süresinin Gastroknemius Kas Vaskülarizasyonu Üzerine Akut Etkilerinin Superb Mikrovasküler Görüntüleme Yöntemi ile İncelenmesi

Öz

AMAÇ: Statik germe (SG) egzersizleri, kas esnekliğini artırmak, fiziksel performansı iyileştirmek ve kas-iskelet yaralanmalarını azaltmak amacıyla sıklıkla kullanılır. Bu çalışmanın amacı gastroknemius kasına uygulanan farklı SG sürelerinin kas kan akımı üzerine akut etkilerini superb mikrovasküler imaging (SMI) yöntemi ile incelemek ve farklı sürelerde germenin germeden hemen sonra ve 10 dakika sonra etkilerini karşılaştırmaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmaya 18-35 yaşları arasında sağlıklı, 30 gönüllü birey dahil edildi. Bireyler randomize olarak iki gruba ayrıldıktan sonra birinci grubun gastroknemius kasına 2 dakikalık SG, ikinci grubun gastroknemius kasına ise 5 dakikalık SG uygulaması yaptırıldı. Germe sonrası kastaki kan akımı SMI yöntemi ile değerlendirildi. BULGULAR: 2 dakika ve 5 dakika germe uygulamaları sonucunda kas kan akımının arttığı, 5 dakika germe uygulamasının 2 dakika germe uygulamasına göre kan akımını daha fazla artırdığı (p<0.05) ve 10 dakika sonra kan akımı değerlerinin başlangıç değerlerine döndüğü sonucuna varıldı (p>0.05). SONUÇ: Sağlıklı bireylerde dolaşımı artırmak için 2 veya 5 dakikalık esneme uygulamalarının yeterli olabileceği düşünüldü.

An Examination of the Acute Effects of Static Stretching Duration on Gastrocnemius Muscle Blood Flow by Superb Microvascular Imaging Method

Öz

AIM: Static stretching (SS) exercises are frequently used to increase muscle flexibility, improve physical performance, and reduce musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of different SS duration applied to the gastrocnemius muscle on muscle blood flow by superb microvascular imaging (SMI) method and compare the impact of stretching at different duration immediately after stretching and 10 minutes later. MATERIAL AND METHOD: 30 healthy volunteers aged between 18-35 years were included in this study. The individuals were divided into two groups randomly. 2-minute SS was applied to the gastrocnemius muscle of the first group, and 5-minute SS was performed to the gastrocnemius muscle of the second group. Blood flow in the muscle after stretching was evaluated by the SMI method. RESULTS: It was obtained that muscle blood flow raised as a result of stretching applications for 2 minutes and 5 minutes, stretching application for 5 minutes increased blood flow more than stretching application for 2 minutes (p<0.05), and blood flow values returned to baseline values after 10 minutes (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: It was thought that 2 or 5 minutes of stretching applications to increase circulation in healthy individuals might be sufficient.
