遅発性筋肉痛(DOMS) にマッサージが有効か検討した系統的レビューとメタ解析 DOMSへのマッサージ介入は、 運動直後や 24 時間後より 48 ~72 時間後で高い効果を示した。 マッサージは、運動参加者やアスリートに実用的なケア方法の一つですね。 https://t.co/ToKm44R7Th

Ducoup quel est le meilleur moment pour se faire (auto-)masser ? Juste après ta séance? Pourquoi pas. Mais d'après une méta-analyse, le massage semble être le plus efficace lorsque les courbatures atteignent leur pic, soit environ 48h après la séance. https://t.co/YrGMZTRaqG
