摘要

This study evaluated the effects of lymphatic drainage (LD) and intense sports massage (IM) on muscle recovery after eccentric quadriceps exercise in combat sports athletes. Thirty-six athletes (24 men, 12 women; mean age 27.4 ± 4.1 years) were randomized into three groups: LD, IM, or Control. After a fatigue-inducing plyometric jump protocol, the LD and IM groups received six 30-minute recovery sessions over 72 h, while the Control group rested passively. Athletes were assessed at five time points—pre-exercise, immediately post-exercise, and a 24, 48, and 72 h—measuring perfusion (PU, Power Doppler Score), pressure pain threshold (PPT), maximal voluntary contraction (MVC), creatine kinase, C-reactive protein (CRP), and perceived recovery (TQR scale). Both IM and LD groups showed significantly greater increase in PPT at 24, 48, and 72 h compared to controls (p = 0.004–<0.001), with LD showing superior outcomes at 24 h. IM consistently increased perfusion (p < 0.001–0.026). LD also led to lower creatine kinase and CRP levels (p < 0.001–0.017). In conclusion, LD and IM enhanced muscle recovery after intense exercise, with LD showing stronger effects on pain, inflammation, and IM improving tissue perfusion.
