Abstract

Klasična masaža i masaža pjenastim valjkom vrlo često su korištene tehnike od strane sportaša, za zagrijavanje prije treninga ili natjecanja, te za oporavak nakon istog. Te dvije tehnike masaže imaju različitu primjenu; klasičnu masažu karakterizira pasivna primjena, dok se masaža pjenastim valjkom provodi aktivno. Cilj rada je ustanoviti razlike u akutnim učincima klasične masaže i masaže pjenastim valjkom na fleksibilnost mišića nogu i skočnost tjelesno aktivnih osoba. Na uzorku od 9 tjelesno aktivnih ispitanica provelo se inicijalno testiranje skočnosti i fleksibilnosti nogu, potom masaža (klasična ili masaža pjenastim valjkom) te odmah nakon finalno testiranje skočnosti i fleksibilnosti nogu. U prvom se dolasku testirao učinak jedne masaže, a drugi puta preostali oblik primjene masaže. Fleksibilnost mišića stražnje strane nogu provjerila se testovima pretklon trupa raznožno i pretklon trupa s ispruženim spojenim nogama uz pomoć klupice. Skočnost se provjerila testovima sunožni skok s i bez pripreme. Rezultati istraživanja ukazuju da obje tehnike masaže, bez obzira na različitu primjenu, dovode do poboljšanja fleksibilnosti. Što se tiče skočnosti, u praćenim varijablama uočen je bolji učinak masaže pjenastim valjkom u odnosu na klasičnu masažu samo u jednom pokazatelju SJ-a. U budućim je istraživanjima potrebno dodatno istražiti mehanizme adaptacije lokomotornog sustava na različite vrste masaže, kako u vidu promjena u fleksibilnosti i skočnosti, tako i u vidu promjena u izvedbi specifičnih zadataka vezanih za pojedini sport.

Abstract (english)

Classic massage and foam roller massage are frequently used techniques by athletes, for warming up before training or competition, and also for recovery. Those two massage techniques have different applications; classic massage is characterized by passive application, while foam roller massage is performed actively. The aim of this paper is to establish the differences in the acute effects of classic massage and foam roller massage on flexibility of leg muscles and jumping ability in physically active individuals. On a sample of 9 physically active female participants, an initial test of jumping and flexibility of the legs was performed, then a massage (classic or foam roller massage) and immediately after the final testing of jumping and flexibility of the legs. In the first visit, the effect of one massage was tested, and in the second visit, the remaining form of massage application was tested. The flexibility of the muscles of the back of the legs was checked with trunk flexion with spread legs and stand and reach test. Jumping ability was tested with the countermovement jump and squat jump. Results indicate that both massage techniques, regardless of the different application, lead to improved flexibility. As for jumping ability, in the monitored variables, a better effect of massage with a foam roller compared to classic massage was observed only in one indicator of SJ. In future research, it is necessary to further investigate the mechanisms of adaptation of the locomotor system to different types of massage, both in the form of changes in flexibility and jumping ability, and in the form of changes in specific tasks related to a particular sport.
