EFFECT OF CLASSIC MASSAGE WITH PEPPERMINT OIL ON MUSCLE SORENESS AND MUSCLE STRENGTH DURING RECOVERY FROM EXERCISE

Öz

The aim of this study was to investigate effects of classic massage with peppermint oil or vaseline on muscle pain and muscle strength during recovery from exercise. Twenty-two healthy males between the ages of 18 to 22 years participated in this study. All participants carried out 10 set of 10 repetitions eccentric exercises of wrist flexors with elastic bands. The participants were randomly divided into two intervention groups as the peppermint oil and the vaseline massage. Ten minutes of classic massage was performed to one arm of participants after exercise and no massage was performed to contralateral arm. Muscle soreness was evaluated using pressure algometry. Grip strength was measured with JAMAR dynamometer. No significant differences were found for muscle soreness in both peppermint oil and vaseline massage arm from baseline to 24 h and 48 h (p>.05). There were significant differences from baseline to 24 h (p=0.031) and 48 h (p=0.023) post-exercise in peppermint oil control arm for muscle soreness. Also, there was a significant difference from baseline to 24 h (p=0.016) in the vaseline control arm. No significant differences were found for grip strength after exercise in all conditions (p>.05). There were no significant differences between peppermint oil and vaseline massage arm for both muscle soreness and grip strength (p>.05). The classic massages with peppermint oil and vaseline alleviated muscle soreness during recovery after exercise. But, both massage interventions did not contribute to recovery of grip strength after exercise.

NANE YAĞI İLE KLASİK MASAJIN EGZERSİZDEN TOPARLANMA SIRASINDA KAS AĞRISI VE KAS KUVVETİNE ETKİSİ

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, egzersizden toparlanma sırasında nane yağı veya vazelin ile klasik masajın etkisini araştırmaktı. Bu çalışmaya 18-22 yaşları arasında 22 sağlıklı erkek katıldı. Tüm katılımcılar elastik bantlar ile 10 set 10 tekrar el bileği fleksiyon egzersizleri yaptılar. Katılımcılar rastgele nane yağı ve vazelin masajı olarak iki müdahale grubuna ayrıldı. Katılımcıların bir koluna egzersiz sonrası 10 dakika klasik masaj yapıldı ve diğer kola masaj yapılmadı. Kas ağrısı basınç algometresi kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Kavrama kuvveti JAMAR dinamometresi ile ölçüldü. Hem nane yağı hem de vazelin masaj kolunda egzersiz öncesi 24 saat ve 48 saate kadar kas ağrısı açısından anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p> .05). Kas ağrısı için nane yağı masajı kontrol kolunda egzersiz öncesinden egzersiz sonrası 24 saat (p = 0.031) ve 48 saate (p = 0.023) anlamlı farklılıklar vardı. Ayrıca, vazelin kontrol kolunda, egzersiz öncesinden egzersiz sonrası 24 saate (p = 0.016) anlamlı bir fark vardı. Her koşulda egzersiz sonrası 24 saatte ve 48 saatte kavrama gücü için anlamlı fark bulunmadı (p> 0.05). Hem kas ağrısı hem de kavrama kuvveti için nane yağı masaj ve vazelin masaj kolu arasında anlamlı fark yoktu (p> 0.05). Nane yağı ve vazelin ile klasik masaj, egzersiz sonrası toparlanma sırasında kas ağrısını hafifletti. Ancak, her iki masaj müdahalesi de egzersiz sonrası kavrama kuvveti toparlanmasına katkı sağlamadı.
