| 1. An investigation of the effects of massage on quadriceps performance after exercise fatigue. |
| Authors: Rinder AN, Sutherland CJ. |
| |
| |
| Thirteen males and 7 females completed their maximum number of leg extensions against a half maximum load. |
| |
| 2. Aquatic sports massage therapy. |
| Author: Bell GW |
| |
| |
| Athletic trainers are continually bombarded with requests to assist aquatic athletes with the management of musculoskeletal concerns involved with training and overtraining. |
| |
| 3. Comparative study of lactate removal in short term massage of extremities, active recovery and a passive recovery period after supramaximal exercise sessions. |
| Authors: Gupta S, Goswami A, Sadhukhan AK, Mathur DN. |
| |
| |
| This investigation highlights the comparison of blood lactate removal during the period of recovery in which the subjects were required to sit down as a passive rest period, followed by active recovery at 30% VO(2)max and short term body massage, as the three modes of recovery used. |
| |
| 4. Effects of leg massage on recovery from high intensity cycling exercise. |
| Authors: Robertson A, Watt JM, Galloway SD. |
| |
| |
| BACKGROUND: The effect of massage on recovery from high intensity exercise is debatable. |
| |
| 5. Effects of massage on physiological restoration, perceived recovery, and repeated sports performance. |
| Authors: Hemmings B, Smith M, Graydon J, Dyson R. |
| |
| |
| BACKGROUND: Despite massage being widely used by athletes, little scientific evidence exists to confirm the efficacy of massage for promoting both physiological and psychological recovery after exercise and massage effects on performance. |
| |
| 6. Effleurage massage, muscle blood flow and long-term post-exercise strength recovery. |
| Authors: Tiidus PM, Shoemaker JK. |
| |
| |
| Manual massage is commonly assumed to enhance long term muscle recovery from intense exercise, partly due to its ability to speed healing via enhanced muscle blood flow. |
| |
| 7. Manual massage and recovery of muscle function following exercise: a literature review. |
| Author: Tiidus PM. |
| |
| |
| There is currently little scientific evidence that manual massage has any significant impact on the short- or long-term recovery of muscle function following exercise or on the physiological factors associated with the recovery process. |
| |
| 8. Massage therapy for sprinters and runners. |
| Author: Angus S. |
| |
| |
| Winning the gold medal is everything. |
| |
| 9. The effects of athletic massage on delayed onset muscle soreness, creatine kinase, and neutrophil count: a preliminary report. |
| Authors: Smith LL, Keating MN, Holbert D, Spratt DJ, McCammon MR, Smith SS, Israel RG |
| |
| |
| It was hypothesized that athletic massage administered 2 hours after eccentric exercise would disrupt an initial crucial event in acute inflammation, the accumulation of neutrophils. |
| |
| 10. The effects of three modalities on delayed onset muscle soreness. |
| Authors: Weber MD, Servedio FJ, Woodall WR. |
| |
| |
| Delayed onset muscle soreness is a common problem that can interfere with rehabilitation as well as activities of daily living. |
