Summary

This study will test two common pre-exercise treatments—percussion therapy (using a massage gun) and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization—on 20 healthy, sedentary adults. Researchers will measure muscle fatigue, strength, pain threshold, and oxygen levels to see which method works better. The results may help guide warm-up routines for athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
