Swimming is a sport that includes different styles and distances, which can expose the athlete to different stressors that can affect performance and generate conditions such as overtraining. This is due to the lack of integration of systematic recovery periods during training programs. A very used recuperative feature in swimming is massage. Recent studies have shown that the application of short duration is sufficient to obtain the desired effects and it is possible that its application systematized over a period of time may have greater effects on performance. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of deep and superficial massage on clinical, functional and performance issues; to identify its short-term effects on clinical and functional variables and to investigate the association between training load and the swimmer's perceptions.

Secondary | Proprioception | Laser-pointer assisted angle reproduction test for 55°, 90° and 125° of shoulder flexion | up to 1 week | |
Secondary | Perceptions | Swimmer's Perception of Effort Questionnaire (SPEQ) composed of 5 perceptions (well-being, heaviness, tiredness, discomfort, pain) rated by a 1-5 likert scale where 1=nothing; 2= a little; 3=moderate; 4=a lot; 5=extremely. For well-being higher values indicate better outcomes while for the remaining perceptions higher values indicate worse outcomes | up to 1 week | |
Secondary | Swimming velocity | Swimming velocity (SV) is derived from the central 10m of the pool and the time to swim this distance (t), calculated by the formula SV=10/t. | up to 1 week | |
Secondary | Stroke frequency | Stroke frequency (SF) is derived from the number os strokes (n) and the time to swim the central 10m of the pool (t), calculated by the formula SF=n/t. | up to 1 week | |
Secondary | Distance per stroke | Distance per stroke (DPS) is derived from the swimming velocity and swimming frequency, calculated by the formula DPS=SV/SF. | up to 1 week | |
Secondary | Stroke index | Stroke index (SI) is derived from the swimming velocity and the distance per stroke, calculate from the formula SI=SV*DPS. | up to 1 week |
