Brief summary
Introduction: The massage technique is widely used for post-exercise recovery, however, there is still a gap regarding the ideal dosage in relation to the duration of its application. Objective: To analyze the influence of massage when applied at different times on the dominant (DOM) and non dominant (ÑDOM) quadriceps muscles and clinical variables. Methods: Study carried out with 11 men aged 21.5(2.1) years, in a two-week crossover design. Participants performed a jumping protocol followed by manual massage for 5 (G1) or 10 (G2) minutes. Assessments included strength testing, pain scale (VAS), perception of recovery and vital sign measurements up to one hour post-massage. Analysis onducted in SPSS, ANOVA was performed (with Bonferroni test, when necessary), providing effect sizes (p\<0.05).
