Abstract

Background: The effect of percussion massage on hamstring flexibility is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of percussion massage on hamstring flexibility and to compare its effectiveness with static stretching.

Methods: Fifty-four healthy individuals aged 18-25 years with at least 15 degrees of active knee extension were included in the study. The study was conducted between February and May 2022. The participants were randomly divided into 3 groups in this cross-randomization study as percussion massage (n=18), static stretching (n=18), and control (n=18). The Active Knee Extension test and the Sit and Reach test were used as evaluation parameters, and assessments were performed pre-intervention and 30 min post-intervention (acute).

Results: In both percussion and stretching intervention groups, the range of motion (ROM) gain in the Active Knee Extension test was statistically significant (p<0.05) compared to the control group. Active knee extension angle gain was similar between percussion and stretching interventions (p>0.05). It was found that hamstring flexibility improved significantly in both percussion massage and static stretching groups (p<0.05). However, considering the last measurement and flexibility gain values, it was found that percussion massage and static stretching had similar acute effects on hamstring muscle flexibility (p>0.05).

Conclusion: Percussion massage had an acute positive effect on hamstring flexibility and ROM, and it was as effective as static stretching. Therefore, percussion massage devices are recommended as part of pre-exercise in a structured warm-up for increase in joint range of motion and flexibility.

比较冲击按摩疗法和静态拉伸对腘绳肌弹性的急性影响。
背景:叩击按摩对腿筋柔韧性的影响尚不清楚。本研究旨在调查叩击按摩对腿筋柔韧性的急性影响,并比较其与静态拉伸的效果:研究纳入了 54 名年龄在 18-25 岁、膝关节主动伸展至少 15 度的健康人。研究于 2022 年 2 月至 5 月间进行。在这项交叉随机研究中,参与者被随机分为三组,分别为叩击按摩组(18 人)、静态拉伸组(18 人)和对照组(18 人)。评估参数为膝关节主动伸展测试和坐立伸展测试,评估时间为干预前和干预后30分钟(急性期):结果:在叩击和拉伸干预组中,膝关节主动伸展测试的活动范围(ROM)增加具有统计学意义(P0.05)。叩击按摩组和静态拉伸组的腘绳肌柔韧性均有明显改善(P0.05):结论:叩击按摩对腘绳肌的柔韧性和活动度有积极的影响,其效果不亚于静态拉伸。因此,建议将叩击按摩装置作为结构化热身中运动前的一部分,以增加关节的活动范围和灵活性。
