Summary

This study looked at how Swedish massage and percussion therapy affect muscle stiffness, soreness, and jump performance in 24 healthy adults after exercise. Participants received one of the two treatments, and researchers measured muscle properties and strength. The goal was to see which therapy helps muscles recover better after a workout.
