Comparative effects of recovery strategies on exercise-induced muscle fatigue:a randomized controlled trial

Massage therapy showed favorable effects in central modulation and muscle repair. CWI effectively controlled acute inflammation. FES improved muscle explosive power, while vibration therapy enhanced neuromuscular responsiveness. Static stretching group showed no significant recovery benefit, as stretching primarily enhances ROM and flexibility and has only limited impact on the critical physiological pathways necessary for EIMF recovery.
