Özet
The aim of this study was to investigate effects of classic massage with peppermint oil or vaseline on muscle pain and muscle strength during recovery from exercise. Twenty-two healthy males between the ages of 18 to 22 years participated in this study. All participants carried out 10 set of 10 repetitions eccentric exercises of wrist flexors with elastic bands.The participants were randomly divided into two intervention groups as the peppermint oil and the vaseline massage. Ten minutes of classic massage was performed to one arm of participants after exercise and no massage was performed to contralateral arm. Muscle soreness was evaluated using pressurealgometry. Grip strength was measured with JAMAR dynamometer. No significant differences were found for muscle soreness in both peppermint oil and vaseline massage arm from baseline to 24 h and 48 h (p>.05). There were significant differences from baseline to 24 h (p=0.031) and 48 h (p=0.023) post-exercise in peppermint oil control arm for muscle soreness. Also, there was a significant difference from baseline to 24 h (p=0.016) in the vaseline control arm. No significant differences were found for grip strength after exercise in all conditions (p>.05). There were no significant differences between peppermint oil and vaseline massage arm for both muscle soreness and gripstrength (p>.05). The classic massages with peppermint oil and vaseline alleviated muscle soreness during recovery after exercise. But, both massage interventions did not contribute to recovery of grip strength after exercise.
