Introdução: Diferentes métodos têm sido utilizados para otimizar a recuperação pós-treino, dentre os quais destaca-se a massagem. Recentemente, a utilização de massagem percussiva ganhou notoriedade, ainda que os resultados preliminares sejam conflitantes e haja relatos de efeitos adversos.
Objetivos: O objetivo do estudo será investigar a efetividade da massagem percussiva na intensidade da fadiga e dor muscular, do torque muscular dos extensores de joelho e da altura do salto vertical.
Metodologia: Será realizado um ensaio clínico randomizado cruzado (RBR-33dz538) com cegamento do avaliador. Serão incluídos participantes ativos com idade entre 18 e 40 anos e excluídos participantes com autorrelato de dor musculoesquelética no quadril ou joelho na linha de base. Os participantes serão randomizados e submetidos a massagem percussiva (AVANUTRI®) e a recuperação passiva após protocolo de indução à fadiga dos extensores do joelho. Serão avaliadas a intensidade da fadiga muscular e a intensidade da dor muscular no quadríceps durante agachamento (Escala Visual Analógica Numérica), torque muscular dos extensores de joelho (dinamômetro PHYSIOCODE F-01®) e altura do salto vertical (sensor inercial Baiobit®).
Discussão: Espera-se que a massagem percussiva melhore tanto o resultado de testes objetivos quanto subjetivos. A presente pesquisa poderá contribuir para a avaliação da efetividade da massagem percussiva, que tem sido amplamente utilizada, mas ainda carece de evidências científicas robustas.
