Abstract
Objectve: The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of percussion massage applied to the quadriceps muscle with a Hypervolt device on range of motion (ROM), jumping, agility and anaerobic performance. Materal and Methods: Total of 24 (41.7% female, 58.3% male) healthy individuals with mean age of 22.04±1.19 years participated in the study. A cross-randomization method with a 72-hour washout period was used throughout the study. Percussion massage (Hyperice, California, USA) was applied to the dominant quadriceps muscle of the participants lying in the supine position for 8 minutes at a frequency of 30 Hz using the flat head of the Hypervolt device. ROM, vertical jump, T Drill Test and Wingate anaerobic performance tests (WAnT) were evaluated. Results: Hip flexion ROM of the participants increased significantly after percussion massage with Hypervolt (p=0.02). There was no significant diffe rence in vertical jump and T Drill Test results and ROM measurements other than hip flexion after percussion massage with Hypervolt (p˃0.05). WAnT results were found to be decreased (p˂0.05). Concluson: While percussion massage device has positive effects on joint range of motion, they have no effect on jumping and agility performance. However, there was a decrease in anaerobic power output. Percussion devices such as Hypervolt which are utilized for warming up may reduce ana erobic performance.
