震動按摩槍的選購

相信每一位從業的教練一定都曾被學員問過“教練，有沒有推薦的按摩槍？”、“教練，我該買按摩槍嗎？”

究竟，震動按摩槍的功效如何、選購時又該注意些什麼？

但其實，專門關於手持式震動器材的研究並沒有大家想像地這麼多，但如果是關於震動治療的效果倒是滿多篇的。

關於震動治療，一般以10~55Hz之間居多。

若要以放鬆肌肉為主，建議的頻率落在20~60Hz。若要增加血流量，則建議30~50Hz為佳。針對消除延遲性肌肉痠痛，無論是訓練前還是訓練後，使用30~65Hz的震動按摩都有效果。

若頻率高達100~200Hz，則容易讓肌肉產生收縮。(但也有止痛的效果)

一篇研究指出震動按摩槍跟運動後拉筋伸展比較起來，在減少肌肉疼痛指數(CK值)和發炎反應上，其實並沒有額外的好處。

目前也沒有研究顯示手持式震動器材能夠提升肌力或是運動表現(例如，肌肉收縮速度、垂直跳高度、衝刺、耐力…等)。 

但為何還是幾乎人手一支呢?

撇除受廣告的渲染影響，大部分的從業人員會使用按摩槍主要是出於方便、省力，讓工作起來更有效率。

畢竟目前已受研究肯定的好處有：

• 增加血流量

• 增加關節活動度

• 減少DOMS

光是以上幾點，就值得大家投資看看。

現今市面上的按摩槍，價位從1~2千至近2萬元都有。

在選購上，除了上述所說的頻率外，也需參考打擊力道，這些都會影響使用上的舒適度。實用面上則應再加考慮電池的續航力、機身重量與噪音問題。

如果價格對你來說不是一種負擔，震動按摩槍確實是一項“非必要”但不錯的恢復器材。
