Abstract:Objective To evaluate the preventive effect of the myofascial autonomic reciprocal therapy against training-induced knee pain in recruits.Methods During the training of freshmen from August to November 2023,363 recruits from three teams of a university were selected and randomly divided into the observation group,control group A,and control group B,with 121 students in each group.The observation group adopted the myofascial autonomic reciprocal therapy,control group A played Baduanjin,also known as Eight Pieces of Brocade,and control group B served as the blank control.The incidence rate of knee joint injuries from training,scores of the Numerical Rating Scale(NRS),the Lysholm knee score,the angle at which the affected limb hurt when squatting,and the ability of standing long jump were compared between the three groups at the end of the training.Results Except the angle at which the affected limb hurt when squatting(P<0.001),there was insignificant difference in the incidence rate of training-caused knee joint injuries,scores of NRS,or in the Lysholm knee score between the observation group and control group A(all P>0.05),but the above indicators were better in the observation group than in control group B(P<0.05,=0.031,<0.001,<0.001),except the standing long jump ability(P>0.05).Conclusion The myofascial autonomic reciprocal therapy can mitigate knee joint pain and reduce the incidence of training-induced knee joint injuries,which can be used for the prevention and management of such injuries during the training of first-year students.
