劇烈運動使肌肉痠痛及身體疲勞感的增加,運動後飲用營養增補劑與經絡按摩調理是能有效改善肌肉痠痛與降低肌肉損傷反應的可能恢復方式。運動後需要醣類與蛋白質補充作為運動恢復的重要方法。醣類與蛋白質補充品已被用來促進運動恢復及提升身體肌肉組織修復之用途。另外,透過經絡按摩調理能有效降低疲勞感與肌肉痠痛感,可有效提升運動恢復之能力。本文在整合現有相關文獻後,探討經絡按摩調理與醣類和蛋白質混合之生理機制,並分析經絡按摩調理與醣類與蛋白質增補在單次運動表現與運動疲勞後促進運動恢復能力之潛在效益與限制。本文整理後歸納出以下三點結論:一、醣類添加蛋白質補充明顯提升運動後肌肉損傷、降低肌肉痠痛與疲勞感並促進肌肉組織修復,而植物性大豆蛋白補充則具有降低血液腫瘤壞死因子下降、超氧化物歧化酶 和白血球介質6上升之效果;二、經絡按摩調理有效提升上背部局部血液循環與促進粒線體增生,可明顯降低單次運動後之肌肉損傷及發炎現象;三、根據目前經絡按摩調理結合營養增補大豆性蛋白質研究之飲用量範圍差距與按摩手法的施術方向及力量的一致性不同,這可能會造成專業人員提供經絡按摩調理與營養增補建議時對運動恢復能力的限制。
The use of nutritional supplements and meridian massage after exercise is a possible recovery method that can effectively improve muscle soreness and reduce muscle damage reactions. Post-exercise carbohydate (CHO) and protein (PRO) supplementation is an important approach to recover from exercise, and CHO/PRO supplements have been used to promote post-exercise recovery and to enhance the muscle tissue repair. Moreover, meridian massage can effectively reduce fatigue and muscle soreness, which can effectively enhance the ability to recover from exercise. In this review, after integrating the existing related literature, we investigate the physiological mechanisms of meridian massage and the mixture of carbohydrate and protein, and analyze the potential benefits and limitations of meridian massage and CHO/PRO supplementation in promoting exercise recovery after acute exercise and exhausting exercise. We summarized the following three conclusions: (1) CHO/PRO supplementation significantly improved muscle damage recovery after exercise, reduced muscle soreness and fatigue, and promoted muscle tissue repair, while plant-based soy protein supplementation is capable of reducing tumor necrosis factor, increasing superoxide dismutase, and increasing interleukin-6; (2) Meridian massage effectively improved local circulation in the upper back and promoted mitochondrial biosynthesis, and such approach also can significantly reduce muscle injury and inflammation after a single exercise; (3) according to the current research of meridian massage combined with nutritional supplementation of soy protein, the difference in the range of intake amount and the consistency of the direction and power of performing massage techniques may limit the exercise recovery ability when professionals provide meridian massage and nutritional supplementation.
