Effect of the muscular strength exercise and massage on muscle injury marker and IGF-1

Abstract

This experiment is to identify the effect of aid combined with strength exercise and massage affecting muscle injury marker and insulin-like growth factor: IGF-1. Therefore, there were Experimental Group (EG) and Control Group (CG) to identify the effect of the experimental aid. Each aided for 60 minutes, 40 minutes of strength exercise and 20 minutes of massage program, total 24 strength exercises, 3 times a week, for 8 weeks. Through this process we could see there is interactive effect on ammonia, phosphorus, creatine kinase, and lactate dehydrogenase, which are muscle injury markers. There is also interactive effect on IGF-1, which is insulin-like growth factor. As a result, aid combined with strength exercise and massage has a positive effect on muscle injury marker and IGF-1.
