About

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.

Full description

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.
