AB  - CONTEXT: Fast and adequate recovery after exercise and activity is important for 
      increasing performance and preventing injuries. Inadequate recovery usually 
      causes changes in the biomechanical and viscoelastic properties of the muscle. 
      OBJECTIVE: To compare the immediate effect of petrissage massage (PM) and manual 
      lymph drainage (MLD) following submaximal exercise on the biomechanical and 
      viscoelastic properties of the rectus femoris muscle in healthy women. DESIGN: 
      Cross-sectional, repeated-measures. SETTING: Marmara University. PARTICIPANTS: 18 
      healthy female students. INTERVENTION(S): Following the submaximal quadriceps 
      strengthening exercise performed in 3 sets of 8 repetitions with intensity of 75% 
      of 1 maximum repetition, participants' right leg received a 5-minute PM (PM 
      group) and the contralateral leg received a 5-minute MLD application (MLD group). 
      MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Skin temperature was measured using P45 thermographic 
      thermal camera (Flir System; ThermaCAM, Danderyd, Sweden), and muscle tone, 
      biomechanical, and viscoelastic features were measured with a myometer (Myoton 
      AS, Tallinn, Estonia) at baseline, immediately postexercise, post-PM/MLD 
      application, and 10 minutes postexercise. RESULTS: In the PM group, the tonus (P 
      = .002) and stiffness (P < .001) values measured after the massage and at the end 
      of the 10-minute resting period were found to be statistically different than 
      those measured right after the exercise (P < .05). Relaxation time and creep 
      values at all measurement times were significantly different (P < .05). In the 
      MLD group, it was observed the tonus (P < .001), stiffness (P = .025), and 
      relaxation time (P < .01) values decreased significantly after the MLD compared 
      with the values measured after the exercise; however, the creep value was found 
      to be significantly different in all measurements (P < .05). CONCLUSION: PM and 
      MLD reduce passive tissue stiffness and improve the extent of muscle 
      extensibility over time against the muscle tensile strength. PM and MLD are 
      therapeutic methods that can be used to support tissue recovery after exercise 
      and prevent injuries.
