Brief Summary

Aim: The aim of the study was to examine and compare the time-dependent effects of IASTM and FR applications on delayed muscle pain and physical performance. Method: 50 physically active healthy male individuals between the ages of 20-35 will be included in the study. Participants will be divided into 3 separate groups as instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization(IASTM), foam roller (FR) and control group. DOMS creation protocol will be implemented after preliminary evaluation. IASTM and FR groups will be treated after the formation of doms. The control group will not be applied. participants are evaluated 1 day before the doms were created and at 24, 48 and 72 hours after doms created. Subjetcs were tested for physical activity level with IPAQ-SF, flexibility with sit and reach test, pain with Visual analog scale, edema with thigh circumference measurement, explosive power with horizontal and vertical jump test, dynamic balance with y balance test and isokinetic muscle strength of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles with isokinetic dynamometer.

Interventions

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization OTHER

Myofascial release technique will be applied to the Quadriceps, Hamstring and Gastrocnemius muscles of the participant's dominant lower extremity with the Graston technique®. The application will be at 450 angles for each muscle, 2 minutes, for a total of 6 minutes. The IASTM application will include sweep-fan-sweep strokes and cycle through each muscle for the specified time.

Instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization group

Foam Roller OTHER

Will be applied to the Quadriceps, Hamstring and Gastrocnemius muscles of the participant's dominant lower extremity using rigid Foam Roller. A total of 6 minutes will be applied to a person, 2 minutes for each muscle. Pressure intensity; According to the Visual Analog Scale, which is the point where pain will not be felt but moderate to severe discomfort will be felt, it will be done at a severity of 7/10.
