The international research group * of Professor Negishi Yanosh and Professor Ryoichi Nagatomi of Tohoku University Graduate School of Medical Engineering cannot say that wearing a compression supporter during or after training does not promote muscle recovery after exercise. Clarified.It is necessary to develop a new training method that does not leave fatigue.
A compression supporter is a device that applies a certain amount of pressure to muscles and joints, and is said to be effective in preventing injuries and recovering from fatigue.The use of compression supporters during training and after a match has been popular for decades, especially to reduce fatigue and restore strength.However, data on the beneficial effects of compression supporters on post-exercise muscle recovery have not yet been concluded.
The research group conducted a systematic literature search from multiple representative databases, extracted data from 350 randomized controlled trials involving 19 healthy individuals, and performed a meta-analysis.The type of exercise, the site and timing of applying the pressure supporter, and the time from the end of the exercise to the subsequent examination were taken into consideration.As a result, it was shown that even if the compression supporter is used, it cannot be said that it is effective in recovering muscle strength during and after training.
Pressure supporters have been said to be effective in preventing injuries and recovering from fatigue, but this study found that they are not at least effective in recovering from fatigue.As a result, it is necessary to develop a new training method that does not leave fatigue.
* In addition, the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, St. Mary's University in the United Kingdom, and the University of Potsdam in Germany participated.
