Clinical Trial Summary

There are studies investigating the effect of different massage methods on muscle fascia stiffness but the results do not support each other. In addition, there is no study to investigate the effect of MLD on muscle fascia stiffness. The aim of this study is to determine the acute effect of MLD and classical (Swedish) massage (KM) on muscle fascia stiffness after exercise.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Measurement of skin temperature	For thermal imaging, a 120-9-90 pixel resolution FLIR E5 camera thermal camera (FLIR Systems AB, Sweden) will be used, and Color Palette iron will be selected to display images. The video will be taken from a distance of 1 m at a speed of 8 photos / s.	Change from Baseline skin temperature at following exercises, at following MLD/SM application and at 10 minutes after the exercise
Primary	Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the muscle-1	Viscoelastic stiffness [N/m] will be measured in MyotonPro 3 (MYO, Tallin, Estonia).	Change from Baseline mechanical properties at following exercises, at following MLD/SM application and at 10 minutes after the exercise
Primary	Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the muscle-2	Change from Baseline mechanical properties at following exercises, at following MLD/SM application and at 10 minutes after the exercise	Oscillation frequency (Hz) will be measured in MyotonPro 3 (MYO, Tallin, Estonia)
Primary	Evaluation of the mechanical properties of the muscle-3	Mechanical stiffness (N/m) will be measured in MyotonPro 3 (MYO, Tallin, Estonia).	Change from Baseline mechanical properties at following exercises, at following MLD/SM application and at 10 minutes after the exercise
