Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of percussive therapy on muscle flexibility, balance, and jump performance in licensed U19 football players and sedentary healthy males under 19. Percussive therapy will be applied to the hamstring muscles for 120 seconds. Flexibility, balance, and explosive strength will be assessed using the sit-and-reach test, Y-Balance Test, and vertical jump test, respectively. The study also aims to compare the therapy's effects between active and sedentary participants.

Interventions

DEVICE

Percussive Therapy

Percussive therapy will be administered using the "Hypervolt Go 2 Black," a massage gun commonly used in clinical and athletic settings. Participants will lie in a prone position on a treatment table. To promote hamstring muscle relaxation, a support roll will be placed under the ankle. The intervention will be delivered by the same researcher for all participants to ensure consistency. Using the round head attachment, percussive therapy will be applied longitudinally along the hamstring muscle group (from proximal to distal) for a total of 120 seconds per leg. Specifically, 60 seconds will be applied to the semitendinosus and semimembranosus, and 60 seconds to the biceps femoris. The same procedure will then be repeated on the opposite leg.
