简要总结
In this pilot study the focus is to assess the perceived impact of Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) on post-exercise recovery in University athletes. The objective is to determine if FST can expedite recovery and enhance overall well-being by reducing muscle soreness and fatigue. The FST protocol will be implement by a certified FST level 2 practitioner. Upon completion of the FST intervention athletes will complete a self-assessment questionnaire. The study aims to provide empirical support for FST's efficacy in improving post-exercise recovery and contributing to the health and performance of university athletes.
详细描述
Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study is to examine the perceived effects of Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) on post-exercise recovery among university athletes at UBCO. By focusing solely on this aspect, the study aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how FST influences recovery processes in the context of rigorous athletic training.
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that integrating FST into the post-exercise routine of university athletes will result in expedited recovery, manifested through reduced muscle soreness and fatigue. We expect that the tailored FST sessions will contribute positively to the athletes' overall well-being, allowing them to maintain peak performance levels.
Justification: The justification for this study lies in addressing a gap in current research by honing in on the specific impact of FST on post-exercise recovery. As athletes constantly seek methods to optimize their performance, understanding the potential benefits of FST in this context becomes crucial for informed and evidence-based interventions.
Objectives: The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of FST in enhancing post-exercise recovery among university athletes. Specifically, the study aims to analyze the reduction in muscle soreness and fatigue, providing empirical support for the inclusion of FST in athletic recovery programs.
Research Design: This pilot study adopts a mixed methods one group post-test only design to a allow the understanding of perceived FST in enhancing post-exercise recovery. Participants will complete questionnaires and short semi-structured interviews.

结局指标
主要结局
Perceptions of Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) on Post-Exercise and Post-Training Recovery Among UBCO Varsity Athletes
时间窗: Interviews will be conducted within one week after the completion of the 4th FST session.
This study aims to assess the perceptions of UBCO varsity athletes regarding the impact of Fascial Stretch Therapy (FST) on their post-exercise and post-training recovery. Participants will undergo a 30-minute FST intervention for four sessions over four weeks. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with participants post-intervention to gain an understanding of their experiences with FST as part of their athletic training and conditioning.
