Isotonic and Isometric Muscle Contraction Exercises to Reduce Interleukin-6 and Enzyme Cox-2 in Post-Exercise Muscle Injury
Keywords:
isometric muscle contraction, isotonic muscle contraction, enzyme Cox-2, Interleukin-6, muscle injuryAbstract
Exercise, besides the health benefits, also comes with risks. One risk that commonly occurs is muscle injury, either in the form of lacerations, bruises, or sprains. The acute phase is characterized by inflammation with the emergence of inflammatory markers, including the enzyme Cox-2 and pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and pain. The latest approach to the initial treatment of muscle injuries utilizes the PEACE (Protection, Elevation, Avoid Anti-Inflammatory Drugs, Compression, and Education) and LOVE (Load, Optimism, Vascularization, and Exercise) methods. Exercise is believed to reduce inflammation, thus accelerating tissue regeneration. There are two types of muscle contraction that can be used in exercise, including isometric muscle contraction and isotonic muscle contraction. This research is conducted to determine which type of muscle contraction is better in reducing enzyme Cox-2 and IL-6 in post-exercise muscle injuries
