RECUPERACIÓN DE LESIÓN MUSCULAR TRAS UN ENTRENAMIENTO DE ALTA INTENSIDAD EN EL TENIS DE MESA

ABSTRACT

Introduction

High-intensity training is an important point in table tennis training. Due to the high muscle load, occasional injuries may occur during the practice of this activity, requiring the intervention of dedicated physical rehabilitation.

Objective

Explore the rehabilitation process of muscle injuries caused by high-intensity training in table tennis athletes.

Methods

Thirty-one student table tennis athletes with indications for rehabilitation due to muscle injuries caused by high-intensity training were volunteers for this research. Data pertinent to the research were collected before and after the intervention. Muscle strength, tank test, lifting test, flexor and extensor group peak torque at 60°/s speed, and flexor and extensor group peak torque at 60°/s speed were analyzed, and data were stored and analyzed in statistical software. The results were analyzed and checked against the updated scientific literature.

Results

The research shows that a good recovery method can relieve muscle pain and reduce psychological problems caused by pain and speed up joint motion gain.

Conclusion

The protocol analyzed in this paper can improve the athletes’ sporting level both from the physiological and psychological point of view, besides promoting faster recovery and being suitable for daily practical application. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment results.
