Acupuncture has been widely used, but has little theoretical foundation in the sporting world. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of acupuncture on fatigued muscle. The stiffness of muscle flexor antebranchii and the time of endurance exercise were measured. The subjects used were eight male university students (healthy gymnasts). The same subjects who were given acupuncture were measured after a week. The results were as follows : 1. Whether the subjects were given acupuncture or not, the stiffness of muscle flexor antebranchii was increased by the fatigue. 2. Though the stiffness of fatigued muscle was independent of the acupuncture, the decrease in the time of the second endurance exercise was controlled by it. The facts above seem to suggest that acupuncture is successful for efficiency of exercise in sports.
