Brief Summary
In this study, it was aimed to investigate the acute effects of Percussion Massage Therapy and stretching exercises on balance, horizontal jumping and performance in healthy individuals. It was planned to include 45 individuals in the study. Participants will be randomly divided into 3 groups. Horizontal jumping distance, T-Drill test and balance assessment will be done for all participants. After the evaluation, percussion massage therapy will be given to the 1st group, dynamic stretching exercises to the 2nd group, and static stretching exercises to the 3rd group. All measurements will be repeated after the intervention.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Horizontal jumping test
The starting line is drawn on a flat surface. A tape measure is placed on the floor from the starting line forward and the athletes are asked to take a position with the tips of both toes pointing towards the back of the previously determined line. The distance jumped is measured in cm after the athletes are asked to have their knees bent while their arms are parallel to the floor and knees, and to jump forward as much as possible by swinging their arms and legs quickly.
2 minutes
T drills test
It consists of a 9.14 meter forward sprint, 4.57 meter side step to the left, 9.14 meter slide step to the right, 4.57 meter side step to the left, and 9.14 meter backward steps. From the starting point, before starting the run, the individuals are told to take a forward bending motion for at least 3 seconds. The results of the measurement are recorded in seconds. The best score in three attempts will be recorded.
3 minutes
BecureBalance measurement
Fizyosoft Becure Balance System balance evaluation protocol will be evaluated as 30 seconds of two-foot balance with eyes open and closed, and 30 seconds of balance with one foot with eyes open and closed.
10 minutes
