This randomized crossover study investigates the acute effects of different percussive massage intensities on agility, jumping, strength, and power performance in trained male football players. Participants complete three experimental conditions (no massage, low-intensity percussive massage, and moderate-intensity percussive massage) at two different times of day (morning and evening). Performance outcomes are assessed immediately following each intervention to examine dose-response effects and potential interactions with circadian timing.
