Summary

This study compares two passive warm-up methods—infrared heating and therapeutic massage—to see which one improves balance and jump performance better. One hundred healthy adults aged 18-35 will do a short cycling warm-up followed by either infrared or massage, then be tested on jumps and balance. The goal is to find a simple, effective way to prepare for exercise.
