“…For all subjects with relatively low reach scores (below 15 cm) before treatment, massage was associated with an increase in reach, supporting the results of Crosman et al 6 After the no massage treatment, however, some subjects showed no change, whereas others showed considerable change in their sit and reach ability. Wiktorsson-Moeller et al 5 found that massage alone or in combination with a warm up did not significantly increase any lower extremity ranges of motion, except for the ankle joint (dorsiflexion).…”

Objective: To investigate if a single massage of the hamstring muscle group would alter the performance of the sit and reach test. Methods: Before treatment, each of 11 male subjects performed the sit and reach test. The treatment consisted of either massage of the hamstring muscle group (both legs, total time about 15 minutes) or supine rest with no massage. Performance of the sit and reach test was repeated after treatment. Each subject returned the subsequent week to perform the tests again, receiving the alternative treatment relative to their initial visit. Mean percentage changes in sit and reach scores after treatment were calculated for the massage and no massage treatments, and analysed using Student's t tests. Results: Mean (SD) percentage changes in sit and reach scores after massage and no massage were small (6.0 (4.3)% and 4.6 (4.8)% respectively) and not significantly different for subjects with relatively high (15 cm and above) values before treatment. Mean percentage changes in sit and reach scores for subjects with relatively low values before treatment (below 15 cm) were large (18.2 (8.2)% and 15.5 (16.2)% respectively), but no significant differences were found between the massage and no massage groups. Conclusions: A single massage of the hamstring muscle group was not associated with any significant increase in sit and reach performance immediately after treatment in physically active young men. F lexibility describes the range of motion of a joint. Enhanced flexibility is desirable in locomotor (synovial) joints for a number of reasons. These include increased reach or stride length, and thus, during a repeated activity over a fixed distance/displacement, potentially smaller number of contraction cycles. Activation and deactivation of muscle consumes energy over and above force production, and therefore the fewer times muscle is turned on and off, the less energy is consumed. Equally, greater range of motion effectively means a longer time frame over which muscle contraction can take place. When muscles are allowed sufficient time to accelerate and decelerate limb segments, connective tissues are spared and are therefore less prone to rupture. Thus enhanced flexibility is associated with improved movement economy and reduced risk of injury.

“…25,26 The effleurage massage was implemented for its ability to decrease pain and anxiety as well as increase ROM. [27][28][29][30][31][32] Joint mobilizations followed the analgesic effleurage massage to decrease pain and increase ROM. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Using the Maitland joint-mobilization classification, 33 grades I and II were primarily for joint pain and grades III and IV were to increase joint ROM (Table 1).…”

Objective To present a case of bilateral subtalar joint coalition in a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I basketball player and the treatment plan that was used to manage the coalition from the beginning of conference play through the postseason. Background A 20-year-old male basketball athlete (height = 182.8 cm, mass = 83.4 kg) presented with bilateral subtalar joint tarsal coalition that became symptomatic in 2006 and resulted in constant pain with any form of activity. Differential Diagnosis Traumatic injury of the talocalcaneal joint. Treatment Nonsurgical intervention of conservative therapy was elected. Uniqueness Less than 13% of the overall population is affected with tarsal coalition, so it is safe to assume that very few athletes competing at the collegiate or elite level suffer from this condition. This is the first report in the literature to document conservative manual therapies used to manage the symptoms of subtalar joint tarsal coalition in a Division I basketball player. Conclusions After the intensive treatment program for tarsal coalition was implemented, the patient experienced pain relief and was able to continue to compete at a competitive level. This case represents the need to further explore and document a conservative treatment protocol for tarsal coalition.

ÖZETBu araştırmanın amacı 16 -18 yaş grubu futbolcularda masajın esnekliğe etkisinin incelenmesidir.Bu araştırmaya katılan denekler, Gençlerbirliği spor kulübü genç takımında futbol oynayan 16 -18 yaş grubunda erkek sporculardan seçilmiştir. Yaş ortalamaları 17.30 ± 0.272 yıl, boy ortalamaları 176.4 ± 0.021 cm, vücut ağırlık ortalamaları 67.682 ± 1.887 kg, spora başlama yaş ortalamaları 12.242 ± 0.651 yıl olan ve haftalık 10 saat antrenman yapan 15 deney, 18 kontrol grubu olmak üzere toplam 33 sporcu gönüllü olarak katıldı.Deneklerin antrenman ve masaj programı öncesi, kalça fleksiyon, kalça ekstansiyon, kalça abdüksiyon ve adduksiyon, diz fleksiyon, ayak bileği dorsal fleksiyon, ayak bileği planter fleksiyon esneklik ölçümleri alındı. Gruplar arasında bağımlı gruplarda aritmetik ortalamalar arası farka ait t -testi yapıldı. Sonuçların 0,01 önem seviyesinde olup olmadığına bakılıp iki grubun puan ortalamaları arasındaki % lik fark tespit edildi.Kontrol grubu üzerinde herhangi bir uygulama yapılmadan, deney grubuna iki ay süreyle haftada üç seans uygulanan masaj sonrasında aynı ölçümler tekrar alındı ve bu ölçümler karşılaştırılarak değerlendirildi.Kalça fleksiyon, kalça ekstansiyon, kalça abdüksiyon ve adduksiyon, diz fleksiyon, ayak bileği dorsal fleksiyon, ayak bileği planter fleksiyon esneklik test sonuçları bağımlı gruplarda -t-testi ile değerlendirilip deney gruplarda, kontrol gruplara göre (P<0.01) anlamlılık seviyesinde bir fark bulunmuştur.Sonuç olarak, antrenman ile masajın birlikte uygulanması, masaj uygulamaları yapılmadan sadece antrenman alıştırmalarının yapılmasına göre, esnekliğin daha iyi gelişmesine etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Futbol, Masaj, Esneklik THE EFFECT OF MASSAGE TO FLEXIBILITY ON SOCCER PLAYERS AT AGES 16 AND 18 YEARS ABSTRACTThe aim of this research is examining the affect of massage to flexibility on footballers 16 and 18.The subjects in this research were chosen from male sportsmen aged 16 -18, playing football at the youth team of Gençlerbirliği sports club. Total 33 sportsmen as 15 experiment group and 18 control group with average age 17+,-0.272 year, average height 176.4+,-0.021 cm, average weight 67.682+,-1.887 kg and average age to begin sports 12.242+,-0.651 year and who practise 10 hours a week joined this research willingly.Before the training and massage pragrammes of subjects, their flexibility demansionsof hip flexion, hip extention, hip abduction and adduction, knee flexion, ankle dorsal flexion, ankle planter flexion were taken. Between groups -t -test which belong to difference between aritmetical average was done. After checking if the result was at 0.01 in significance level, the percent difference between averages of two groups was found.Without making a practise on control groups, in experinment group applications were done with massage three times per week for two months, and these result have been evaluatedcomparatively.Hip flexion, hip extention, hip abduction and adduction, knee flexion, ankle dorsal flexion, ankle planter flexion flexi...
