Abstract
Purpose: The objective of present study is to analyze the effects ofe slf-microcurrent massage on DOMS and functions of the wrist joint.
Method: A randomized experimental study was designed with a repeated measure (rest-pretest-posttest). A total of 32 college students (experimental and control groups for each M=16, F=16) aged 22.8 participated in this study. All data of this study calculated as mean (M) of l aml easured value and used a three-way repeate d measure ANOVA (SPSS). The significant level of hypothesis verification is set-up as α≦.05.
Results: The repeated measure ANOVA showed that the means of DOMS, wrist flexion, and extension differed significantly among time points (main effects,p =.001). However, none of the two main effects (grou p and gender) was significant. Also, the analysis revealed the interaction between time*group on DOMS (p=.022, L3<L2) and wrist extension (p=.032), and time*gender on wrist flexion (p=.050, L2<L3). In conclusions, although the main effects in group and gender did not approach statistical significance in all dependent variables, the interaction analysis revealed significant differences in time*group on DOMS and wrist extension, and time*gender on wrist flexion.
Conclusion: The results indicate that self-microcurrent massage on students with DOMS have a positive effect to reduce DOMS and to recover functions of wrist flexion and extension. To find additional scientific evidence of self-microcurrent massage on DOMS and joint function, continuous research on this topic is needed.
