Effects of Compare Heart Rate Recovery After Exercise Between Supine Lying with Leg Raise and General Massage

Abstract

Aim of this study was to investigate the heart rate recovery after exercise by general massage. Ten male UttaraditRajabhat Universitystudents were participanted in this study. Methods: All participants were selected by purposive sampling and Signed inform comcent for the study. The participants were asked to walk and run for 30 minutes on treadmill until their heart rate exceed60% of maximal heart rate. Each participants then asked to rest by supine lying with leg raise.The heart rate were monitoredduring the experimental period. Participants heart rate’s were assessed every one minute until decreased to resting heart rate value.The heart rates monitor wererecorded continuously for another 5 minutes. Next 7 days,the participants were assigned to exercise with the same protocol but using general massage instead of supine lying with leg raise.For statistical analysis, paired t-test was selected for comparison heart rate duration recovery between the2 methods. Results:The results showed that the time of heart rate was significant improved in sipine lying with leg raise compared with general massage (p<0.05).
Conclusion: this study compared heart rate recovery by 2 different methods after moderate exercise. The results reported that supine lying with leg raise method could decrease recovery duration when compared with general massage. This study might be benefit for sport staffs for application this recovery method with athlete or trainee.
