The effect of sports massage on changes of muscle contraction after applied load
Kopica, Vladimír ; Nováková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Hošková, Blanka (referee)
Title: The effect of sports massage on changes of muscle contraction after applied load Objectives: The aim of this work was to find out the scale of effect of sports massage on speed of muscle contraction of musculus vastus medialis and musculus vastus lateralis after previous exercise in form of squats and forward lunges. Methods: The research was realized in a form of Crossover design experiment and 7 probands took part in the research. Results were obtained by measuring muscle contraction velocity with tensiomyography method in the lab in department of physiology and biochemistry UK FTVS. We measured height and weight of every proband, after that they were randomly assigned either to control group or experimental group. In the control group we measured the speed of muscle contraction, after that the proband went through exercise in form of squats and forward lunges under certified supervision, then they had 5 minutes of passive rest and after the muscle contraction was measured again. The experimental group had a sports massage instead of 5 minutes rest. Results: The average muscle contraction velocity of musculus vastus lateralis of the control group in the second measurement was 25,47 ± 4,22 ms and the average muscle contraction velocity of the experimental group in the second measurement was...

Change of muscle contraction rate before and after the application of sports massage
Kopica, Vladimír ; Nováková, Pavlína (advisor) ; Malá, Michaela (referee)
Title: Change of muscle contraction rate before and after the application of sports massage Objectives: The aim of this work is to find out if sports massage of leg effects the muscle contraction rate of musculus vastus medialis and musculus vastus lateralis. Part of that aim is to compare differences of muscle contraction rate between men and women. Methods: The research was realized in a form of quaziexperiment and 8 probands took part in the research. Results were obtained from the TMG machine in the lab in department of physiology and biochemistry UK FTVS. First of all we measured proband's height and weight, after that we measured muscle contraction of musculus vastus medialis and musculus vastus lateralis on left leg. After the first measurement the proband had a sports massage of left leg. After the massage was the second measurement of muscle contraction of musculus vastus medialis and musculus vastus lateralis. Results: The muscle contraction rate of musculus vastus medialis of all probands before massage was 24,11 ± 1,87 ms and 24,35 ± 1,96 ms after massage, the muscle contraction rate of men before massage was 25,11 ± 1,5 ms and 25,59 ± 1,47 ms after massage, the muscle contraction rate of women before massage was 23,11 ± 1,65 and 23,1 ± 1,55 ms after massage. The muscle contraction rate...
