The following effects occur when applying sports massage: – The capillaries in the skin and muscles open further, causing a clear increase in blood flow.
– Because the muscles receive better blood flow, the waste products formed (including fluid and lactate) will be better removed and muscle pain will be prevented (as much as possible).
– The removal of waste products is also improved by the external pressure of the massage.
– Muscle tension is affected.
– Regular massage can contribute to better (sports) performance and achieve faster recovery between training and competitions.
