Effect on Balance According to Various Recovery Techniques after Induce Muscle Fatigue in Male College Students

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to effect balance according to various recovery techniques after Harvard step test-induced muscle fatigue in male college students.METHODS Twenty male college students(22.20±2.06 yrs, 177.80±4.28 cm, 77.50±4.28 kg) participated in the study, and their static balance and dynamic balance(Humac balance system) were measured after inducing lower extremity muscular fatigue using Harvard step test. Muscle fatigue was treated in the following order: no treatment in the 1st week, stretching in the 2nd week, icing therapy in the 3rd week, and sports massage in the 4th week, and then post-test was performed in the same manner as the pre-test.RESULTS In the case of static balance, path length on eye opened-foam was a significant difference in interaction effect between the group and time(p
