About this study
Official title: Massage as a Recovery Strategy After Resistance Training: Randomized Clinical Trial
Within the routine of resistance training, stimulus are implemented to meet predetermined goals for its practitioners. In order for there to be a balance in the imposed loads, a recovery period is necessary for supercompensation to occur. Recovery is a multifactorial process and to consider an individual recovered it is necessary to respect the integration of physiological, biomechanical and psychological factors, in addition, perceptual markers, which are not widely investigated in the literature, seem to be effective recovery markers. Massage is a technique that stands out for its wide use after physical exercise in order to help accelerate the recovery process. In the literature, studies that investigated the influence of massage on performance did not find positive results and some authors question the real need to apply the technique to aid recovery. However, in the perceptual parameters, massage seems to have a good influence, such as pain reduction, perception of fatigue and improvement in the perception of recovery. Thus, understanding the experience that massage can provide during a training period can be an important outcome along with variables already used. The hypothesis of this study is that massage will improve perceptual parameters over a training period and, consequently, will improve the experience between training sessions without positively or negatively interfering in performance.
Read the detailed description
A sample of 120 participants will be recruited for the study. This is a parallel randomized controlled clinical trial lasting 4 weeks, each week will consist of 5 resistance training sessions. Participants will be randomized into three groups, control, intervention or placebo. Interventions will take place after training focused on the lower limbs. The intervention group will receive a massage for 16 minutes, in the placebo group the massage cream will be applied and the participants will be asked to remain in the supine position for 16 minutes and the control group will wait the same time at rest. All participants will perform an initial assessment consisting of an initial screening questionnaire, referred morbidity index, jump test and strength test. At the beginning, during and at the end of each lower limb training, after the interventions over 96 hours, the perceptual parameters will be evaluated and the assessment of muscle tone and stiffness, elasticity, mechanical stress relaxation time and creep will be before and after the training and after the intervention. On the second day of the lower limb training on each week, the Squat Jump Test will be evaluated before, after training and after the intervention. At the end of the 4 weeks of training, the participant will perform evaluations of functional and strength outcomes. At the end of the study, the preference of the participant and the cost-benefit of the technique will also be evaluated. Participant satisfaction will be evaluated after the technique. At the end of each week and at the end of the study, a balance of outcomes will be carried out. At the end of the study, the participant will also answer a questionnaire about sensations during training to perform a qualitative analysis. Data will be described as mean and standard deviation or median and interquartile range depending on the data distribution. Data normality will be tested by the Shapiro-Wilk test. Comparisons between techniques and associations will be performed using generalized mixed models with post Bonferroni test. All analyzes will assume a significance level of p>0.05.

This process will be carried out bilaterally and the participant will be asked to remain in the supine position for 16 minutes. In the control group, participants will be asked to rest for 16 minutes and the participants can be seated, standing or walking through the space during this period.

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
Within the routine of resistance training, stimulus are implemented to meet predetermined goals for its practitioners. In order for there to be a balance in the imposed loads, a recovery period is necessary for supercompensation to occur. Recovery is a multifactorial process and to consider an individual recovered it is necessary to respect the integration of physiological, biomechanical and psychological factors, in addition, perceptual markers, which are not widely investigated in the literature, seem to be effective recovery markers. Massage is a technique that stands out for its wide use after physical exercise in order to help accelerate the recovery process.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Massage in people with Resistance Training, run by São Paulo State University at 1 site in Brazil.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Brazil. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Perceptual parameters (time frame: Up to 4 weeks before all lower limb training). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jul 2023.
