Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the effects of dry cupping therapy (DCT) and creatine supplementation (CS) on cardiovascular and inflammatory responses to the
Wingate test.

Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 12 male handball young players were selected in a crossover design. Players were studied in four conditions:
DCT; CS; CS+DCT, control. In all conditions, blood pressure, heart-rate, and body composition were measured pre- and post- Wingate test. Players
were assessed by the Wingate test in two 30-second phases with a 1-minute break between the phases. Blood [lactate-dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine
phosphokinase (CK)] was drawn pre- and immediately post- the Wingate test. In players with CS condition, 60 g of creatine was consumed per day in
three consecutive days prior to the study (3 meals of 20 g in morning, noon, and night). The DCT was performed after Wingate test to consider its possible
effects for alleviating the muscle injury markers. Data were evaluated using analysis of covariance followed by a post-hoc Bonferoni test.

Results: The heart-rate’ means in DCT, CS and CS+DCT conditions were lower compared to the control-condition (p<0.05). The CK’ means in DCT and
CS+DCT conditions were lower compared to the control-condition (p<0.05). The mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure and LDH in the four conditions
were similar (p>0.05).

Conclusion: DCT and CS lead to beneficial effects on cardiovascular function, including changes in heart-rate as well as blood biomarkers among
handball players following the Wingate test.
