Anderson and Forde to research the effects of massage on performance thanks to a Massage Therapy of BC Seed Grant.
Massage has been used as a therapeutic modality for centuries in various capacities, including a long tradition in sport preparation and recovery. However, little research either supports or refutes the use of massage in a sporting context.
There is a paucity of scientific evidence of the physiological effects of commonly used massage techniques, and to date, evidence as to the efficacy of massage in increasing muscular force is lacking. This study will examine the use of massage as an ergogenic aid and as an adjunctive therapy to dynamic warm up for increased muscular force production.
