Sport massage after intensive exercise will improve power and perceptual recovery in athletes.  A 30-minute massage significantly improves the recovery rate for bodybuilders.  A massage treatment can induce delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS).  A post-exercise massage session can improve the exercise performance and recovery rate for those who engage in intensive exercise.
