| Research Abstract |
Recently, stiffness in the shoulders or peripheral muscles becomes an issue of public concern. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the recovery effect of magnetic field or the thermotherapy for muscle fatigue. The healthy subjects participated in the experiment with raising one's hand using a hand dynamometer. The bloodstream, MVC(maximum voluntary contraction), skin temperature tended to increase, but an increase of iEMG was inhibited. The results suggested the recovery effects by the magnetic field and warmth.
