简要总结
The study aims to investigate the effects of percussion therapy and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISM), commonly used in clinical settings, on muscle fatigue, maximum muscle strength, pain threshold, and muscle oxygenation.
The study will involve 20 volunteer participants. To achieve the study results, pre-exercise percussion therapy and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (AISM) will be administered using a crossover design.
Results will be measured using a digital dynamometer, a moxy oxygen monitor, and a fatigue questionnaire.

研究组 & 干预措施
instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization
With the Graston method, 2 minutes of soft tissue mobilization will be performed on the biceps muscle before the exercise.
干预措施: Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (AISM) (Other)
percussion gun
A percussion gun will be applied to the biceps muscle for 2 minutes before the exercise.
干预措施: Percussion Therapy (Other)
control
A 2-minute warm-up will be performed without any application.
结局指标
主要结局
Muscle Oxygen Saturation (SmO₂)
时间窗: "Baseline (30 seconds before exercise)" "During the entire exercise period (from exercise onset to exercise termination)" "Post-exercise (0 to 2 minutes after exercise termination)"
Oxygen saturation will be measured with the MOXY device. It is an infrared measuring device called "near infrared spectroscopy" that measures oxygen saturation and total hemoglobin in muscle capillaries. The device will be attached to the highest point of the muscle and secured with a black sheath and tape to prevent light exposure.
次要结局
- Muscle Strength("30, 60, and 90 seconds before the warm-up or intervention" "30, 60, and 90 seconds after the warm-up or intervention" "30, 60, and 90 seconds after exercise")
