Abstract
Massage is anecdotally associated with many health benefits, but physiological and clinically relevant mechanisms recently have begun to be investigated in a controlled manner. Herein, we describe research supporting our hypothesis that massage can be used as a mechanotherapy imparting biologically relevant adaptations in skeletal muscle and improving muscle properties.
期刊介绍:
Exercise and Sport Sciences Reviews made the transition from an annual hardcover series book to a quarterly journal in January 2000. The mission of this American College of Sports Medicine publication is to provide premier quarterly reviews of the most contemporary scientific, medical, and research-based topics emerging in the field of sports medicine and exercise science. The publication strives to provide the most relevant, topical information to students, professors, clinicians, scientists, and professionals for practical and research applications.
