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.

Abstract
This study is about the use of rice bran as a snack for people with degenerative diseases of diabetes mellitus and hypercholesterolemia. Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) are the highest cause of death and result in loss of productive days for sufferers and companions. To overcome this problem, the study aims to test rice bran cookies with 30% substitution on glucose levels, cholesterol levels, and triglyceride levels in experimental animals so that they can be recommended as healthy cookies low in sugar and low in fat for a snack for people with diabetes mellitus and dyslipidemia. This type of research is an experiment. Research location of the Inter-University Center Experimental Animal Laboratory (PAU) Gadjah Mada University (UGM). The initial stage is to prepare 15 male Sprague Dawley (SD) male white rats weighing 250-300 grams and in closed cages. Rats measured blood glucose levels, total cholesterol and triglycerides. Furthermore, the rats were grouped into 3 groups, and 2 groups were given an injection of streptozotocin (STZ) to make the rats diabetic. Group 1: 5 healthy rats fed a standard diet, group 2: 5 diabetic rats fed a standard diet, and group 3: 5 diabetic rats fed with rice bran cookies. Drinking water is given ad libitum and feeding is given every morning. Furthermore, weighing and analysis of blood glucose levels, total cholesterol, and triglycerides were carried out on the seventh, tenth, seventeenth, twenty-fourth, thirty-first, and thirty-eighth days. The results showed that 30% substitute bran cookies were able to reduce glucose levels, cholesterol levels, and serum triglyceride levels so that they could be recommended as a snack for people with diabetes mellitus and people with dyslipidemia.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Deep Tissue Massage combined with stretching (DTMS) on Range of Motion (ROM), and waist function in non-specific cases of Low Back Pain. This research was a pre-experimental study using a pretest and posttest design. The research sample consisted of 21 people with non-specific Low Back Pain injuries taken by purposive sampling technique. The treatment used combined Deep Tissue Massage and stretching exercises. The treatment was carried out once with a duration of 30 minutes. Pain scale measurement used the VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) instrument. ROM used the modified Schober Test and Fingertip to Floor instruments. Measurement of waist function used the ODI (Oswestry Disability Index) instrument. The data analysis technique used was the Paired t-test. The results showed that Deep Tissue Massage combined with stretching reduced pain, significantly increased ROM and waist function (p<0.05). The conclusion of this study was that Deep Tissue Massage and stretching can reduce pain, increase ROM, and improve waist function so that it can be applied to patients with non-specific low back pain.

Fizjoterapia Polska 2023; 23(3); 210-220

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56984/8ZG143A4A

Abstract
This study aimed to determine: (1) The effectiveness of Tepurak therapy (press, hit, motion) in treating non-specific Low Back Pain (LBP) injuries. (2) The effectiveness of a combined Deep Tissue Massage with stretching (DTMS) in treating non-specific LBP injuries. (3) A comparison of the effectiveness between Tepurak therapy and the combination of Deep Tissue Massage with stretching in treating non-specific LBP injuries.
Recovery indicators included pain level and range of motion (ROM). This pre-experimental research used two distinct sample groups with different treatments. The sample comprised 42 individuals with non-specific LBP injuries, who were randomly divided into two groups of 21. Group A underwent Tepurak therapy (press, hit, motion), while Group B received combined Deep Tissue Massage and stretching (DTMS). Each treatment session lasted 30 minutes.
Pain levels were measured using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), while ROM was assessed with the modified Schober Test and the Fingertip-to-Floor instruments. The data analysis employed various tests, including the Paired t-test, Wilcoxon, independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney.
The findings revealed that Tepurak therapy reduced pain and significantly enhanced ROM (p < 0.05). Similarly, the Deep Tissue Massage combined with stretching notably diminished pain and improved ROM (p < 0.05). Comparing the pretest and posttest data between Tepurak therapy and the Deep Tissue Massage with stretching on pain and ROM indicators yielded a p-value > 0.05. This suggests that there was no significant difference in the effectiveness of the two therapy types.
Based on this study, it’s recommended that either Tepurak therapy or the combination of Deep Tissue Massage with stretching can be employed to treat individuals with non-specific LBP. The choice should depend on the specific situation and conditions, taking into account the pros and cons of each therapy type.
