지연성 근육통 ( delayed onset muscle soreness ) 에 대한 경피신경자극 ( transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation ) 의 효과

【The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS) on delayed onset muscle soreness(DOMS). Twenty males performed eccentric exercise of the elbow flexor. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: 1) a group ( $n_1$ =7) t 7) that received low frequency TENS (7 Hz), 2) a group ( $n_2$ =7) t 7) that received high frequency TENS (500 Hz), 3) a control group ( $n_3$ =6) t 6) that received no treatment. DOMS was induced in a standardised fashion in the non-dominant elbow flexor of all subjects by repeated eccentric exercise. Treatments were applied immediately following exercise and again at 24 hours and at 48 hours after. Subjects attended on three consecutive days for treatment and measurement of elbow flexion, extension and resting angle(universal goniometer), and pain(Visual Analogue Scale; VAS) on a daily basis. Measurements were taken after treatment. Analysis of results using repeated measures analysis of variance(ANOVA) and post hoc tests were as follows: 1) there were between groups differences in pain value at 48 hours after (p】
