The purpose of this study was to investigate what effect precompetition massage has on short-term sprint performance. Twenty male collegiate games players, with a minimum training/playing background of 3 sessions per week, were assigned to a randomized, counter-balanced, repeated-measures designed experiment used to analyze 20-m sprints performance. Three discrete warm-up modalities, consisting of precompetition massage, a traditional warm-up, and a precompetition massage combined with a traditional warm-up were used. Massage consisted of fast, superficial techniques designed to stimulate the main muscle groups associated with sprint running. Twenty-meter sprint performance and core temperature were assessed post warm-up interventions. Kinematic differences between sprints were assessed through a 2-dimensional computerized motion analysis system (alpha level p <or= 0.05). Results indicated that sprint times in the warm-up and massage combined with warm-up conditions were significantly faster than massage alone. Also, step rate and mean knee velocity were found to be significantly greater in the warm-up and massage combined with warm-up modalities when compared to massage alone. No significant differences were demonstrated in any measures when the warm-up and massage and warm-up combined conditions were compared. Massage as a preperformance preparation strategy seems to decrease 20-m sprint performance when compared to a traditional warm-up, although its combination with a normal active warm-up seems to have no greater benefit then active warm-up alone. Therefore, massage use prior to competition is questionable because it appears to have no effective role in improving sprint performance.
本研究旨在探讨赛前按摩对短期短跑表现的影响。20 名男性大学生运动员，每周至少进行 3 次训练/比赛，被随机分配到一个随机、平衡、重复测量设计的实验中，以分析 20 米短跑成绩。使用了三种离散的热身方式，包括赛前按摩、传统热身和赛前按摩结合传统热身。按摩采用快速、浅层技术，旨在刺激与短跑相关的主要肌肉群。热身干预后评估 20 米冲刺表现和核心温度。通过二维计算机运动分析系统评估冲刺之间的运动学差异（alpha 水平 p<or=0.05）。结果表明，热身和热身结合按摩条件下的冲刺时间明显快于单独按摩。此外，与单独按摩相比，在热身和热身结合按摩条件下，步频和平均膝关节速度明显更大。当比较热身和按摩以及热身结合条件时，没有任何措施显示出显著差异。与传统热身相比，赛前按摩作为赛前准备策略似乎会降低 20 米短跑成绩，尽管它与正常主动热身相结合似乎没有比单独主动热身更大的好处。因此，赛前按摩的使用是值得怀疑的，因为它似乎在提高短跑成绩方面没有有效的作用。
