Massage or stretching? study tests best recovery for teen judokas
NCT ID NCT07586007
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how well sports massage, static stretching, and passive rest help adolescent judokas recover after training. Thirteen male athletes aged 10-13 took part, and researchers measured things like heart rate, blood lactate, and jump height. They also checked if recovery worked differently in the morning versus evening.
