The muscular system, as well as all other systems of the body, is very important for ensuring the normal functioning of a person. There are more than 600 muscles. They provide the mobility of a person and keep him in a static state.
Muscle work plays an important role in the activity of the respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems since there are muscle fibers in various organs, tissues, and vessels.
Massage helps to increase the tone and elasticity of muscle fibers, and improves contractile function, and muscle performance. As a result of massage, blood flow to the muscles improves, which leads to their relaxation, fatigue relief, and recovery.
At present, it is difficult to imagine professional sports without a massage therapist. Be sure to have a massage therapist on the team. Techniques such as kneading and squeezing, combined with acupressure, help relieve muscle blocks, and spasms after physical exertion, and also relieve pain.
Massage promotes the excretion of lactic acid, which is formed as a result of intense muscle work and causes muscle pain. After a five-minute massage, muscle performance increases by 4-6 times. This occurs as a result of an increase in the flow of oxygen and acceleration of redox processes. Massage prevents muscle atrophy.
