本研究目的在比較電針體穴刺激與耳穴貼壓刺激，對運動後血液乳酸影響的差異。受試者為18名大學男生，平均年齡為22.88歲，身高174.13-h分，體重72.64-h斤。受試者依平衡次序分別接受電針穴位刺激、電針非穴位刺激、耳穴貼壓刺激及無刺激四種實驗處理，並在跑步機土以80%V02max之運動強 度連續跑12分鐘。非穴位的四點避開人體的經絡，做為雙合谷、雙足三里的對照位置，耳穴貼壓偉、採用“王不留行籽\"貼壓雙耳之肺、肝、心和內分泌等犬。電針刺激採用北平製WQ-6F電針儀，採用中度刺激(12伏特、30赫茲)。耳穴貼壓則以拇指和食指相對接壓刺激。刺激時間分別為運動前25-20、10-5和運動後第5-15分鐘。使用Sensormedics2900能量代謝系統分析氣體。此 外，每位受試者在運動前30分鐘和運動後5分鐘及20分鐘等三個時間分別抽取靜脈血，比較各研究處理之上述三個時間的血液乳酸濃度。運動中並以Borg運動強度自覺量表，評估受試者的自覺疲勞程度，所得的資料經單因子變異數分析處理。本研究發現電針體穴與耳穴貼壓刺激皆顯著降低恢復期血乳酸水準與運動強度自覺量。本研究結果顯示耳大貼壓刺激比針刺體大更有利於運動後疲勞的消除。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture and ear point pressing on exercise induced blood lactate responses. Subjects were eighteen university males with average age， height and weight of 22.88 yrs， 174.13 cm and 72.1 kgs respectively. Each subject performed four separate 12-minute treadmill runnings of 80% maximal oxygen consumption with treatments of electroacupuncture locus，ear point pressing， electro acupuncture pseudo locus and with no stimulation.Electroacupuncture stimulate was applied on Hoh Ku(Li4) and Tsu San-Li(S-36)locus while pseudo-electroacupuncture stimulate was applied on two centimeters outside the points of electroacupuncture locus. Electrical stimulate (12V，30Hz) was induced by a WQ-6F electroacupuncture machine and ear point stimulate was pressed by using "emplanting seeds" on lung points， liver points， heart points and endocrine points during 20th-25th and 5th-10th minutes before exercise，and 5th-15th minutes post exercise. Data were collected and analyzed with one-way repeated ANOV A.The results obtained from this study revealed that both electroacupuncture and ear point pressing significantly lowered recovery blood lactate and rate of perceived exertion following exercise. The results also indicated that ear point pressing is more beneficial to recover from fatigue following severe exercise than electroacupuncture.
