Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine tightening pressure of the supporter and effect of the elastic property on muscle fatigue through electromyogram measurement. Wearing a magic tape style taping supporter, several healthy students carried out the flexion experiment of the elbow. At this time, the electromyogram of biceps brachii was measured, and MFCV(Muscle Fiber Conduction Velocity) by which, the muscle fatigue index was calculated. As a result, it became clear that the tightening pressure of the supporter which relieves fatigue was 21-28gf/cm2. The elastic property of the supporter which relieved muscle fatigue was almost 0.8kgf/cm as a tension stretch. Local clothes pressure seems to affect that the supporter with the moderate elastic property is fixed in the appropriate tightening pressure in muscle contraction and muscle blood flow. This was assumed to be the reason why muscle fatigue is reduced.
