About this study
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.
Read the detailed description
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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Percussive Massage GroupOther
Quadriceps, hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles of the participants will done massage for 3 minutes with a hypervolt massage device.
Dynamic stretching groupOther
Dynamic stretching will be performed for the quadriceps, hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles of the participants with 10 repetitions.

|---|---|---|
| Percussive Massage Group | Experimental | Quadriceps, hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles of the participants will done massage for 3 minutes with a hypervolt massage device. Receives: Other: Percussive Massage Group |
| Dynamic stretching group | Experimental | Dynamic stretching will be performed for the quadriceps, hamstring and gastrocnemius muscles of the participants with 10 repetitions. Receives: Other: Dynamic stretching group |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Horizontal jumping test
The starting line is drawn on a flat surface. A tape measure is placed on the floor from the starting line forward and the athletes are asked to take a position with the tips of both toes pointing towards the back of the previously determined line. The distance jumped is measured in cm after the athletes are asked to have their knees bent while their arms are parallel to the floor and knees, and to jump forward as much as possible by swinging their arms and legs quickly.
Measured: 2 minutes
T drills test
It consists of a 9.14 meter forward sprint, 4.57 meter side step to the left, 9.14 meter slide step to the right, 4.57 meter side step to the left, and 9.14 meter backward steps. From the starting point, before starting the run, the individuals are told to take a forward bending motion for at least 3 seconds. The results of the measurement are recorded in seconds. The best score in three attempts will be recorded.
Measured: 3 minutes
BecureBalance measurement
Fizyosoft Becure Balance System balance evaluation protocol will be evaluated as 30 seconds of two-foot balance with eyes open and closed, and 30 seconds of balance with one foot with eyes open and closed.
Measured: 10 minutes
