How does foam rolling impact post-exercise muscle recovery?

In 2015, a study conducted by researchers at a university laboratory has shed light on the potential benefits of foam rolling for alleviating delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and improving muscular performance following intense exercise. The study, led by Gregory E. P. Pearcey and colleagues, explored whether foam rolling could serve as an effective recovery tool after a strenuous workout. The research involved eight healthy, physically … Continue reading How does foam rolling impact post-exercise muscle recovery?

Does massage therapy enhance vascular recovery post-exercise?

In 2014, a study conducted at a clinical research center, researchers have found that massage therapy (MT) can significantly improve peripheral vascular function following exercise-induced muscle injury. The study, led by Nina C. Franklin and her colleagues, explored the impact of MT on vascular endothelial function in the upper extremities, particularly after intense lower-body exertion. The study involved 36 sedentary young adults who were randomly … Continue reading Does massage therapy enhance vascular recovery post-exercise?

Which recovery method reigns supreme? Comparing blood lactate clearance after supramaximal leg exercise

In 1998, the study conducted by N. A. Martin, R. F. Zoeller, R. J. Robertson, and S. M. Lephart, the primary objective was to examine and compare the effects of sports massage, active recovery, and rest on promoting blood lactate clearance subsequent to maximal anaerobic (supramaximal) leg exercise. The research employed a counterbalanced experimental design with repeated measures, with the order of treatment conditions randomly … Continue reading Which recovery method reigns supreme?
