Does the Time of Day Affect the Impact of Swedish Massage on an Athletes' Balance?

Studies have reported that balance ability plays a significant role in maintaining posture and executing skills


In competitive sports, differences in daily variations in maximum performance are of great importance .


Within this daily rhythm, various factors, including exposure to hot and humid environmental conditions, can influence factors that may affect sports performance


For instance, nutrition, sleep, individual chronotype differences, rest, and body temperature at different times of the day have been shown to contribute to daily variation


However, despite the recent increase in studies on the circadian rhythm’s effects on performance development, there have been limited studies on its effects on balance performance


Lets talk about massage:


Massage, one of the passive warming methods preferred by athletes and coaches, can be applied to assist in acute preparation for performance . It possesses relaxing and stimulating properties that can potentially affect an athlete’s performance in various situations, such as before, during, and after training or competition


How much massage do you need?


Athletes who received either a 10 min or a 15 min Swedish massage displayed significantly improved dynamic balance compared to those who did not receive any massage protocols


Research showed that both morning massages or evening massages are equally as beneficial, so when you book in for your muscle therapy at Health Wise Chiropractic , any time of the day will be suitable for performance


Another study found a 15 min massage reduced muscle pain and balance loss in their study.
