Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of wearing functional clothing over calf muscles on the muscle function of the calf and to verify whether functional clothing can increase calf muscle function. The participants of the study were 21 male students from University B who had no lower extremity abnormality. The measurement method was measured at 30°/sec and 120°/sec angle speed before and after wearing functional clothing on the right and left calves using Humac Norm of CSMI, a constant speed muscle function measuring instrument. No significant difference was observed during dorsiflexion when wearing functional clothing, but in plantar flexion, muscle strength and muscle endurance were significantly increased. Therefore, wearing functional clothing over the calves showed a positive effect on improving exercise function, and future research suggests a study comparing the degree of muscle function improvement between those wearing functional clothing and those not wearing it for athletes training ahead of the competition.

본 연구에서는 종아리 근육에 기능성 의류를 착용한 것이 종아리의 근기능에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 규명하고 기능성 의류가 종아리 근기능 증가에 활용가치가 있는지 검증하고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다. 연구의 대상은 하지에 이상이 없는 B 대학교의 남학생 21명을 대상으로 측정 하였다. 측정방법은 등속성근기능측정기인 CSMI사의 Humac Norm을 이용하여 오른쪽, 왼쪽 종아리에 기능성 의류 착용 전, 후 각속도 30°/sec, 120°/sec로 측정하였다. 피실험자들이 기능성 의류를 착용했을 때와 착용하지 않았을 때를 측정 해본 결과 발목 배측굴곡(Dorsi flexion)에서는 기능성 의류를 착용했을 때와 착용하지 않았을 때 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았으나, 발목 저측굴곡(Plantar flexion)에서는 기능성 의류를 착용하였을 때 근력, 근파워, 근지구력이 유의하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 종아리의 기능성 의류 착용이 운동기능 향상에 긍정적 효과가 있으며, 향후 연구에서는 대회를 앞두고 훈련을 하는 선수에게 기능성 의류를 착용한 인원과 착용하지 않은 인원의 근기능 향상정도를 비교해보는 연구를 제시하는 바이다.
