On the Progress of Research on Acupuncture to Improve Exercise Fatigue in Soldiers

摘要: 运动性疲劳是指机体生理过程不能持续其机能在一特定水平上和/或不能维持预定的运动强度。在高强度军事训练或作战中，士兵产生运动性疲劳是十分常见的一种状况，是限制士兵继续参加训练或作战的核心要素之一。因此，如何尽可能高效和快速地降低士兵的运动性疲劳程度，是当今军事中的热点问题。近年来，针灸因其具有疏通经络、扶正祛邪、调和阴阳的作用而被广泛应用于军事医学。本文就针灸改善士兵运动性疲劳且提高作战能力的研究进展进行综述。

Abstract: Exercise fatigue is the inability of an organism’s physiological processes to sustain their functioning at a specific level and/or to maintain a predetermined exercise intensity. In high-intensity military training or combat, it is a very common condition for soldiers to develop exercise fatigue, which is one of the core elements limiting soldiers from continuing to participate in training or combat. Therefore, how to reduce the degree of exercise fatigue of soldiers as efficiently and rapidly as pos-sible is a hot issue in today’s military. In recent years, acupuncture has been widely used in military medicine because of its ability to unblock meridians and collaterals, support the positive and dispel the evil, and harmonise yin and yang. In this paper, we review the research progress of acupuncture to improve the athletic fatigue of soldiers and enhance the combat ability.
