Massage Eases DOMS, Boosts Recovery in Athletes and Bodybuilders

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.
