Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the acute effects of Percussion Massage Therapy and stretching exercises on balance, horizontal jumping and performance in healthy individuals. It was planned to include 45 individuals in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups. Horizontal jumping distance, T-Drill test and balance assessment will be done for all participants. After the evaluation, percussion massage therapy will be given to the 1st group, dynamic stretching exercises to the 2nd group, and static stretching exercises to the 3rd group. All measurements will be repeated after the intervention.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

48 healthy individuals meeting the inclusion criteria of Istanbul Medipol University will be included in the study. Individuals who are at a level to perform performance tests, who have not undergone orthopedic surgery in any of their regions, who do not have problems in running and during sudden turns, and who do not have a professional sports background will be included in the study. Individuals with a history of trauma, anatomical deformities and skeletal system fractures, diagnosed orthopedic or rheumatological diseases, being included in the physiotherapy program in the last 6 months, and those with pain in any region will be excluded from the study. Before the study, demographic information, horizontal jump test, T-Test and Fizyosoft balance system will be evaluated with both feet and one foot with eyes open and closed. After the evaluation, percussion massage therapy will be given to the 1st group, dynamic stretching exercises to the 2nd group, and static stretching exercises to the 3rd group. All measurements will be repeated after the intervention.
