Massage impairs postexercise muscle blood flow and "lactic acid" removal.
Wiltshire EV, Poitras V, Pak M, Hong T, Rayner J, Tschakovsky ME. Wiltshire EV, et al. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2010 Jun;42(6):1062-71. doi: 10.1249/MSS.0b013e3181c9214f. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2010. PMID: 19997015
PURPOSE: This study tested the hypothesis that one of the ways sports massage aids muscle recovery from exercise is by increasing muscle blood flow to improve "lactic acid" removal. ...CONCLUSIONS: Massage impairs La(-) and H+ removal from mu …
