穴位埋线对专业运动员体能的影响

目的:观察穴位埋线对运动员运动能力的影响,探讨其可能的作用机制。方法:选择在专业训练中经常出现运动性疲劳、体能下降等相关症状的专业运动员,以关元、命门、肾俞、足三里、三阴交为主穴行穴位埋线。对16例国家赛艇女运动员进行6次治疗后测试2000m测功仪成绩,并于治疗前、治疗3次和6次后分别检测血睾酮、血红蛋白水平;将52例省重竞技队、省沙排队男运动员分成埋线组和推拿理疗组,治疗12周后观察两组运动员的中长跑成绩,并于治疗前、治疗12周、6个月和12个月后分别检测其血中睾酮和血红蛋白的含量。结果:①治疗后国家女子赛艇队2000m测功仪成绩明显提高(P<0.01),运动员血睾酮、血红蛋白水平较治疗前均明显提高(P<0.01,P<0.05);②省重竞技队、沙排队埋线组中长跑成绩提高值明显高于对照组(P<0.01),血睾酮和血红蛋白水平也均高于对照组(P<0.05)。结论:穴位埋线可以改善运动员运动性疲劳状况,提高运动员体能,从而提高运动成绩。其作用机制可能与提高血睾酮和血红蛋白水平有关。

Effect of Acupoint-catgut Implantation on the Physical Agility of Professional Athletes

Objectives To observe the impact of acupoint-catgut implantation on physical agility of athletes and to probe into its underlying mechanism. Methods A total of 68 volunteer athletes were recruited in the present study. Sixteen rowers of China National Women's Racing Boat Team (CNWRBT) underwent comparative observation between pre- and post-treatment with acupoint-catgut implantation. Fifty-two athletes from Zhejiang Heavy Athletics Events Team (HAET) and Sand-beach Volleyball Team (SBVT) were randomized into control (n = 26) and treatment (n = 26) groups which were treated w(ith massage (20 min, once daily for 1 year), and catgut implantation at Guanyuan (CV 4), Mingmen (GV 4), etc. (once every two weeks), respectively. In the later group, after 6 times of treatment, the catgut implantation was given once a month, continuously for 1 year. Serum testosterone and plasma hemoglobin (Hb) levels were detected before, 1.5 mon, 3 mon, 6 mon and 12 mon after the treatment, respectively. Results 1) Compared with pre-treatment, the 2 000 m ergometer time was shortened significantly (P<0. 01), and serum testosterone and plasma hemoglobin (Hb) levels were increased evidently in 16 volunteer rowers of CNWRBT after 3 months' acupoint-catgut implantation treatment (P<0. 05, P<0. 01). 2) In comparison with control group and pre-treatment, the midium- and long-distance running scores of the athletes of Zhejiang HAET and SBVT were elevated considerably (P<0. 01), serum testosterone and plasma Hb levels increased significantly (P<0. 05). Conclusion Acupoint-catgut implantation can significantly improve the athletes' anti-fatigue exercise capacity, enhance their physical agility to elevate their athletics events score, which may be closely related to its effects in raising blood testosterone and hemoglobin levels.
