Abstract
The present research is based on females who are working repetitive or continuous movements or in the same position for a long period of time. For this research, as the first experiment, 20 of the muscle fatigue participants(Muscle Fatigue; MF, n=20) and 20 of the non-muscular fatigue participants(Muscle Fatigue; MF, n=20) were selected and then their blood biochemistry index were compared. Then they were divided into two groups; natural rest (10 participants) and meridian massage (10 participants). For the natural rest group, after they work they simply took rest and for the meridian massage group, after their work, they were applied meridian massage in one week intervals with the same process, total of two times with the repeated measure design and their blood was collected before the experiment, one hour after the experiment and then two days after the experiment. Comparing the blood biochemical index between the muscle fatigue group and the non-muscular fatigue group, the muscle fatigue group was high in blood ammonia, AST (Aspartate aminotransferase), CK (Creatinine Kinase), Epinephrine, MDA (Malondiadehyde), but MDA (Malondiadehyde) was significantly low. After the muscle fatigue, comparing the meridian massage group to the natural rest group, their AST, CK was significantly lowered after one hour and after two days, the lactic acid was significantly lowered, which showed that the meridian message was effective in removing blood fatigue substance and muscle damage substances. Also, after the muscle fatigue, one hour after the meridian massage, blood epinephrine concentration and after two days, norepinephrine concentration have been lowered significantly, which were effective in lowering the stress hormone. After the muscle fatigue, one hour and two days after the meridian massage, the blood MDA was significantly lowered which regarded the removal of the oxidative stress. Due to the results of the research, muscle fatigue group had higher concentration of blood muscle fatigue substance, muscle damage substance; oxidative stress compare to the group with no muscle fatigue and the application of meridian massage was limited but effective on the removal of these substances so to relieve the muscle fatigue and to prevent musculoskeletal system disorder, it is recommended to apply meridian massage within one hour.
Key Words: Muscle Fatigue, Lactic Acid, Ammonia, CK, AST, Cortisol, Epinephrine
