Study Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the acute effects of two passive warm-up methods-infrared heating and therapeutic massage-on vertical jump, horizontal jump, dynamic balance, static balance, and lower extremity muscle flexibility in healthy adults.

Massage Group
Intervention: Therapeutic Massage (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Vertical Jump Height
Time Frame: Baseline (Pre-intervention)
Dynamic Balance Composite Score
Time Frame: Baseline (Pre-intervention)
The Y-Balance Test is a dynamic balance assessment tool used to evaluate an individual's ability to maintain postural control while reaching in multiple directions. The participant stands on one leg at the center of a Y-shaped grid and reaches as far as possible with the contralateral leg in three directions: anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral. The maximum reach distance for each direction is measured in centimeters (cm) and normalized to leg length to reduce inter-individual variability. Outcome Metrics: Reach distance (cm) in the anterior, posteromedial, and posterolateral directions Dynamic Balance Composite Score (%) =(Sum of the 3 reach directions / 3 times the limb length \* 100)
Vertical Jump Height
Time Frame: Day 1 (Post-intervention)
30 minutes later after the intervention at the same day
