Summary

Background and aim: Percussion massage, which is one of the applications to increase muscle flexibility, is a method that combines vibration and massage therapy elements. With its popularity in recent years, it is offered as an alternative to traditional methods that increase flexibility. The aim of this study is to examine the acute effect of percussion massage and static stretching exercise on hamstring flexibility.

Method: Individuals with active knee extension angle limited to at least 15 degree were included in the study, which was designed as a cross-over. Active Knee Extension test and Sit and Reach Test were performed before and after the interventions for the evaluation of hamstring flexibility. Participants were divided into 3 groups as percussion massage, static stretching and control groups, interventions were made with 3 days intervals and control measurements were taken.
