The Effect Of Massage and Active Streching on Speeding up Blood Lactic Acid Recovery

Abstract

The accumulation of blood lactic acid after high intensity activities is an acute effect that can contribute to fatigue for sportsmen, therefore it is necessary to do engineering to accelerate recovery. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of massage and active stretching on the acceleration of blood lactic acid recovery. The research method used in this study is experimental. The research sample was 14 Physical Education students with the same subject design (within subject design) using the time difference between treatments for six days (washed out period). The data taken were blood lactic acid data before and after the engineering of recovery after the sample carried out high- intensity (anaerobic) activity in this study used the form of 30-50 meter interval running activities, then to accelerate the recovery of blood lactic acid after the sample did the activity, namely the recovery technique. massage and active stretching for 5 minutes. The first recovery technique is massage (shaking and tapotement) and the second recovery technique uses active stretching. The results of the first study, the data obtained from the calculation of Sig. 2-tailed (0,000) <0.05, meaning that there is an effect of massage on the acceleration of blood lactic acid recovery, both asym.sig. 2-tailed (0.002) <0.05, meaning that there is an effect of active stretching on the acceleration of blood lactic acid recovery, the three asym.sig. 2-tailed (0.382)> 0.05 means that there is no difference in the effect between massage and active stretching on the acceleration of lactic acid recovery.
