Effects of mechanical bed massage on biochemical markers of exercise-induced back muscle fatigue in athletes: A randomized controlled trial.

Therefore, mechanical bed massage may reduce stress and muscle damage for the athlete after training or competition. PMID: 31903980 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
