JEPonline 2019;22(7):100-109. The purpose of this study was to verify the acute effect of the massage on power and submaximal muscular strength performance for upper and lower limbs. Thirty-nine physically active men participated in this study. They visited the lab on 7 times. The experimental visits consisted of 10 repetitions maximum (RM) test and retest for bench press (BP) and leg press (LP45) exercises. Then, the subjects performed vertical (VJ), horizontal jump (HJ), and the medicine ball throw (MBT). The remaining visits were used to perform the experimental protocols in randomized order: (a) Massage + 10RM Test; (b) Massage + VJ Test; (c) Massage + MBT Test; and (d) Massage + HJ Test. Significant differences were observed for 10RM BP (P<0.001) and LP45 performance (P<0.001), VJ (P<0.001), HJ (P<0.001), and MBT (P<0.001). The findings indicate that massage applied before strength and power tests enhanced the 10RM test and muscle power tests performance. Thus, there appears to be a practical use of massage for recreationally trained adults as well as for the athletic population.
