ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the effect of a combination of effleurage techniques with tapotement on DOMS with indicators of muscle pain, ROM, and creatine kinase levels. This study used experimental methodology using a pretest-posttest control group design. Participants were divided into two groups: the treatment and control groups. Data was collected twice, 8 hours after exercise and immediately after treatment. The DOMS-inducing exercise in this study was circuit training. The sample methodology used in this study utilized a purposive sampling technique guided by specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. The aim was to select 20 futsal players. The present study employed various data-collecting instruments, such as a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain evaluation, a Goniometer for quantifying knee joint flexion, and laboratory analysis for ascertaining creatine kinase levels. The findings from this study suggest that the use of effleurage techniques combined with tapotement after high-intensity exercise, which affects the occurrence of delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), provides good results in preventing DOMS by reducing muscle soreness, increasing range of motion (ROM), and suppressing elevated levels of creatine kinase in the bloodstream.
