The comparison of the effects of two techniques of massage and passive stretching on reduction of muscle fatigue after static contraction in girl university students
The present study was to compare the two techniques of massage and passive stretching in reducing quadriceps muscle fatigue after an isometric muscle contraction. This study was performed on 30 girl university students within the age range of 19-30 years. The study subjects were recruited by convenience sampling method. In order to induce fatigue in quadriceps muscle, 75% of maximal voluntary contraction measured by a digital dynamometer was used. Immediately after the muscle contraction, passive stretching of quadriceps for 30 seconds was performed and then maximal voluntary contraction was measured again. After four days, the whole process was repeated except that instead of passive stretching, kneading massage for five minutes was used.
