Vpliv hiperbarične kisikove terapije na zakasnelo mišično bolečino : pregled literature

Jager, Matic (author), Finderle, Žarko (mentor)

Uvod: Zakasnelo mišično bolečino opredelimo kot tip mišične poškodbe, ki nastane po povečani mišični aktivnosti, vendar se razlikuje od mišične utrujenosti in bolečine, ki nastane med samo vadbo oziroma obremenitvijo mišice. Opišemo jo kot togost, občutljivost oziroma bolečino med aktivnim gibanjem in šibkost prizadete mišice. Do nje naj bi prišlo zaradi natrganj mišičnih mikrovlaken. Zakasnela mišična bolečina lahko predstavlja oviro pri nadaljnjih treningih, pri vrhunskem športu pa celo vpliva na slabše rezultate športnika, zato so bile preizkušene različne terapevtske metode za preprečevanje ozirom zmanjševanje njenega vpliva. Med te postopke sodi tudi hiperbarična kisikova terapija. Gre za terapevtsko metodo, pri kateri je pacient izpostavljen povišanemu atmosferskemu tlaku, hkrati pa vdihuje 100% kisik. Terapija temelji na plinskih zakonih ter fizioloških in biokemičnih učinkih hiperoksije. Namen: Namen diplomskega dela je s pomočjo že obstoječe literature ugotoviti, kakšne učinke ima hiperbarična kisikova terapija na zakasnelo mišično bolečino, in kritično analizirati postopke ter rezultate. Metode dela: Diplomsko delo je izvedeno v obliki pregleda literature. S pomočjo internetnih baz podatkov MedLine, PubMed in Google Scholar sem iskal članke, izdane po letu 1990, in izdelal seznam literature, iz katerega sem izbral članke, ki so ustrezali temi diplomskega dela. Vključitveni dejavniki so primarne raziskave na ljudeh, ki so objavljene v angleškem jeziku. Rezultati: Pri iskanju literature po internetnih bazah podatkov MedLine, PubMed in Google Scholar je bilo najdenih le 6 člankov, ki so v celoti ustrezali temi diplomskega dela. Razprava in sklep: Večina raziskav je pokazala, da hiperbarična kisikova terapija ni učinkovita metoda obravnavanja zakasnele mišične bolečine. Vseeno se pri skoraj vseh raziskavah pojavijo posamezni rezultati, ki nakazujejo na vpliv hiperbarične kisikove terapije na zakasnelo mišično bolečino.

• Title: The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on delayed onset muscle soreness : literature review

Abstract

Introduction: Delayed onset muscle soreness is defined as a type of muscle injury resulting from increased muscle activity, which differs from muscle fatigue or pain occurring during the exercise and loading of the muscle. Its symptoms are muscle stiffness, soreness or pain during active movement and weakness of the afflicted muscle. Probable causes of the delayed onset muscle soreness are micro-tears in the muscle fibres. As delayed onset muscle soreness can hinder further trainings or even affect the results of professional athletes, different therapeutic methods have been proposed for its prevention or at least alleviation. One such method is hyperbaric oxygen therapy, where the patient is exposed to increased atmospheric pressure while inhaling 100% oxygen. This therapy is based on gas laws as well as physiological and biochemical effects of hyperoxia. Purpose: The aim of this Bachelor’s thesis is to review the existing literature and evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on delayed onset muscle soreness through critical analysis of research methods and results. Method: The thesis was conceived as a literature review. We used MedLine, PubMed and Google Scholar internet databases to find papers on the topic of the thesis, published after 1990. The list was narrowed down to the papers in English language focusing on delayed onset muscle soreness in humans. Results: Literature search in the MedLine, PubMed and Google Scholar internet databases revealed only 6 papers that met all the criteria for inclusion in this thesis. Discussion and conclusion: Most of the studies found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not an efficient method for treatment of delayed onset muscle soreness. However, almost all studies include individual results indicating that hyperbaric oxygen therapy does have some effect on delayed onset muscle soreness.
