Abrstract
This paper aims to succinctly summarize the existing body of literature concerning the effects of massage on sports and exercise performance, particularly focusing on motor skills, neurophysiological factors, and psychological factors. The review adheres to the PRISMA guidelines (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis) and encompasses a total of 76 articles. The findings suggest that, on the whole, massages do not exert a significant influence on motor skills, except for flexibility. Nevertheless, some studies propose that favorable changes in muscle force and muscular strength may be noticeable 48 hours after undergoing a massage. Regarding neurophysiological aspects, massages do not seem to impact factors such as clearance of blood lactate, circulation in the muscle, blood circulation, temperature in the muscle tissue, or activation of muscles. However, there is substantiated evidence supporting the idea that massages can alleviate pain and mitigate delayed-onset muscle soreness, potentially by reducing creatine kinase enzyme levels and through psychological processes. Additionally, the review underscores the psychological advantages of massage. It is documented that massage treatments lead to a reduction in feelings of depression, stress, anxiety, and perceived fatigue while simultaneously fostering enhancements in mood, relaxation, and opinion about recovery states. Massages may not have a direct impact on certain performance aspects, but they offer notable psychological benefits for sports, and exercise performance is questionable. They also play an indirect role as an important tool for promoting focus, relaxation, and recovery in athletes. Massages can aid athletes in staying mentally and physically prepared during competitions or training sessions.

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG20A590

Abstract
The high intensity of running athletes’ training to overtraining and athletes who are not optimal even forget to do stretching and cooling down causes shin splints injuries. This certainly interferes with the performance of athletes during training and competitions. This study aims to determine the effect of massage therapy and exercise therapy on the recovery of shin splint injuries in female long-distance runners in the master category. This type of research uses a quasi-experimental approach with a One-Control Group Pretest-Postest Design research design. The data collection technique used tests and measurements with a goniometer to measure the range of motion of the joints and a pain scale to determine the level of pain. The population in this study were female marathon athletes aged 42 years and over. The data analysis technique used the paired t-test after previously going through the normality test and homogeneity test. The results showed that there were significant differences in the treatment of massage therapy and exercise therapy, namely decreased pain and increased joint ROM with a value of p = 0.000 (p < 0.05).

M. Molga, D. Durlak – Evaluation of the effectiveness of massage therapy in combination with other rehabilitation treatments in the treatment of back pain syndrome. Fizjoterapia Polska 2019; 19(2); 46-58

Abstract
Objective. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of classic massage therapy in combination with other rehabilitation treatments and its influence on the reduction of pain intensity in people diagnosed with back pain syndrome.
Material and method. The study was conducted using a questionnaire form at the HIPOKRATES clinic in Krakow. The study involved 150 people who underwent massage therapy, and physiotherapy and kinesitherapy treatment recommended by a physician. To assess the effectiveness of massage therapy in combination with other treatments, the degree of pain intensity was determined in all patients using the VAS visual analog scale before and after completed rehabilitation. The questions also concerned the duration of back pain, knowledge of the principles of ergonomics, use of other treatments besides massage therapy, the time after which the pain was reduced and the duration of positive effects, the effects of massage therapy combined with other rehabilitation treatments, and well-being.
Results. On average, in people using rehabilitation, pain symptoms began to decrease after the fourth treatment. After a series of treatments, most of the respondents experienced improved functioning in everyday life, and pain and increased muscle tone decreased. The patients’ well-being improved considerably, and the dose of painkillers taken was reduced.
Conclusions. Massage therapy in combination with kinesiotherapy and physiotherapy is an effective form of therapy for the treatment of back pain syndrome.

P. Kiljański, J. Kałuża-Pawłowska, K. Gieremek, M. Kiljański – The effect of massage with an electrostatic field of different frequency on the tension of selected skeletal muscles of the shoulder girdle. Fizjoterapia Polska 2018; 18(4); 138-158

 

Abstract
Objective of the work. The aim of the study is to show whether the electrostatic field massage has an effect on the fall in resting tension of the upper part of the trapezius muscle.
Material and methods. 20 people participated in the study, men and women aged 23-29. The subjects’ lifestyle was varied. The research group consisted of people practicing recreational sports, spending a lot of time in front of a computer or by reading books, as well as people doing casual work. All subjects were characterized by an active lifestyle.
The “Szirmai” myotonometer was used for measuring muscle tone. The Physiomed Deep Oscillation was used for massaging with the electrostatic field. The massage took place in two stages, each one with the use of a field with different frequency, respectively – 50 Hz (test No. 1) and 150 Hz (test No. 2). The interval between the tests was 2-3 weeks.
Results and conclusions. The research shows that electrostatic field massage has an effect on the muscle tone drop at both 50 Hz and 150 Hz. Statistically there was no significant difference in the reduction of muscle tone between 50 Hz and 150 Hz.
