摘要

目的

观察穴位敷贴治疗对运动性疲劳者生化指标及主观体力感觉评分(Rating of Perceived Exertion, RPE)的影响。

方法

将35 名足球运动员随机分成3 组,即空白组、对照组、观察组。空白组不予治疗, 观察组予穴位敷贴治疗,对照组口服西洋参。每天记录受试者RPE, 试验前后检测受试者血红蛋白(Hemoglobin, Hb)、红细胞计数(Red Blood Cell Count, RBC)、血尿素氮(Blood Urea Nitrogen, BUN)和血糖(Blood Glucose, BG)。

结果

空白组RPE 值呈上升趋势,观察组和对照组的RPE 值都呈先上升后下降的趋势,观察组的RPE 值比对照组对应值小。试验前后比较,空白组Hb、RBC 和BG 降低, BUN 增高。观察组和对照组Hb、RBC 和BG 升高, BUN 降低。

结论

穴位敷贴能缓解运动性疲劳的临床症状。

Abstract

Objective

To observe the effect of point sticking therapy on biochemical markers and Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) in athletes with exercise-induced fatigue.

Methods

A total of 35 football players were randomly allocated into a blank group, a control group and an observation group. The athletes in the blank group received no treatment, those in the control group take Xi Yang Shen (Radix Panacis Quinquefolii) orally and those in the observation group were treated by point sticking therapy. The athletes’ RPE, hemoglobin (Hb), red blood cell count (RBC), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and blood glucose (BG) were recorded every day for analysis.

Results

The RPE value in the blank group tends to increase, while that in the treatment and the blank groups tend to increase first but decrease afterwards, and the corresponding RPE value in the observation group was smaller than that in the control group. After treatment, athletes in the blank group showed a decrease in Hb, RBC and BG, but an increase in BUN in the blank group; while athletes in the observation and the control groups showed increases in Hb, RBC and BG, but a decrease in BUN.

Conclusion

Point sticking can alleviate clinical symptoms induced by exercise-induced fatigue.
