Analysis of the effect of acupuncture and photobiomodulation on muscle
fatigue.
Abstract
The goals is to analyze whether acupuncture and photobiomodulation have
an effect on muscle fatigue, identify which is more efficient in
reducing the fatigue effects, after the protocols applying individuals
are able to perform the same workload, or improve it. It is a
quantitative and experimental study, [72 active subjects (42 m. 32 f.,
20 to 38 y), η: (age 25.79 y, h 172.01 cm, w 72.28
kg, BMI 24.37)]. Fatigue was assessed BOSCO modified protocol in a
force plate, induced with 100 CMJ until failure. After the treatment
protocols. Results show a significant difference after the intervention
in groups A and D, (the sum of median heights, 2.60 cm and 2.45 cm,
d 0.387 and 0.413, increasing h 14.44% and 12.36%,
p < 0.001). Conclusion that acupuncture and
photobiomodulation are efficient in minimizing fatigue, indicating that
these treatment intervention protocols can improve muscular performance
with jump height gain.
