Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) on the acute effects of physical fitness parameters in healthy male individuals. 24 volunteers are included in this study who have been divided into two groups such that one part is an IASTM and the other part is a control group. The physical activity levels of the individuals participating in the study were determined using the short form of the International Physical Activity Assessment Questionnaire (IPAQ). Individuals; their aerobic capacity is the Incremental Shuttle Walk Test (ISWT), muscle strength values are digital dynamometer, muscle flexibility values are sit-reach and quadriceps flexibility test, fatigue values are Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Modified Borg Scale, agility assessment is T-Test, and balance assessment is evaluated with a stabilometer device.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Flexibility

  Hamstring flexibility measurements of the individuals were performed with a sit-and-reach test using a flexibility bench. Quadriceps flexibility was assessed by placing both hips in a neutral position while the subject lay in the prone position.

  up to six week

Secondary Outcomes (5)

• Exercise Capacity

  up to six week

• Agility

  up to six week

• Balance

  up to six week

• Muscle Strength

  up to six week

• Fatique

  up to six week

Study Arms (2)

IASTM Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Individuals were positioned on the stretcher so that the area to be applied was exposed. ADYDM to be applied to ensure comfortable movement of the instrument on the tissue before application baby oil was applied to cover the area. In order to increase the effectiveness of the application suggestions were made to the person to relax. Application ADYDM for each muscle group tool (Figure 3.4) for 5 minutes. The occurrence of allergic reactions on the skin the test was terminated.

Other: INSTRUMENTAL-ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION TECHNIQUE

Control Group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The control group was kept for 30 minutes without ADYDM application and then muscle strength assessment, flexibility assessment, agility assessment, balance assessment and finally aerobic capacity assessment were performed respectively.

Other: NO INTERVENTION

Interventions

INSTRUMENTAL-ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION TECHNIQUE OTHER

After all evaluations were made, IASTM was applied to the individuals in the intervention group for five minutes each, for a total of 20 minutes, on the quadriceps and hamstring muscles of both extremities, respectively.

IASTM Group

NO INTERVENTION OTHER

The control group waited for 30 minutes after the initial measurements and all measurements were repeated.

Control Group
