Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Change From Baseline in Muscle Soreness at 24 and 48 Hours | Baseline (before exercise), 24 hours, and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period | Muscle soreness at rest was assessed using an 11-point Numerical Rating Scale (NRS-11), ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain). Measurements were obtained before the plyometric exercise protocol and at 24 and 48 hours after exercise in each of the three experimental periods. Changes from baseline were compared among sports massage, traditional Thai massage, and passive recovery conditions. Higher scores indicate greater perceived muscle soreness. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Sit-and-Reach Flexibility at 24 and 48 Hours | Baseline (before exercise), 24 hours, and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period | Flexibility was assessed using the Sit-and-Reach test, with results recorded in centimeters (cm). Participants performed three trials with their knees extended, and the best result was retained for analysis. Changes from baseline were evaluated at 24 and 48 hours after exercise for each recovery condition. Higher values indicate greater reach distance. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Hands-Free Vertical Jump Height at 24 and 48 Hours | Baseline (before exercise), 24 hours, and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period | Vertical jump performance was assessed using the Optojump system. Participants performed countermovement jumps with unrestricted arm movement (hands-free condition). Two valid attempts were performed, and the highest jump height was retained for analysis. Jump height was recorded in centimeters (cm). Measurements were obtained at baseline and at 24 and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period. Higher values indicate greater vertical jump performance. Kopyala |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Hands-on-Hips Vertical Jump Height at 24 and 48 Hours | Baseline (before exercise), 24 hours, and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period | Vertical jump performance was assessed using the Optojump system. Participants performed countermovement jumps with their hands maintained on their hips throughout the movement to minimize the contribution of arm swing. Two valid attempts were performed, and the highest jump height was retained for analysis. Jump height was recorded in centimeters (cm). Measurements were obtained at baseline and at 24 and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period. Higher values indicate greater vertical jump performance. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Perceived Physical Performance at 24 and 48 Hours | Baseline (before exercise), 24 hours, and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period | Perceived physical performance was assessed immediately after the vertical jump tests using a participant-reported 10-point rating scale. Participants were asked to rate how they perceived their jumping performance, with scores ranging from 1 (very poor performance) to 10 (excellent performance). The assessment was repeated during the baseline, 24-hour, and 48-hour testing sessions in each experimental period. Higher scores indicate better perceived physical performance. Changes from baseline were compared among the sports massage, traditional Thai massage, and passive recovery conditions. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Pressure Pain Threshold of the Right Quadriceps at 24 and 48 Hours | Baseline (before exercise), 24 hours, and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period. | Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured over the right quadriceps muscle region using a pressure algometer. Pressure was gradually increased until the participant first reported pain. Two measurements were obtained approximately 30 seconds apart, and the lower value was retained for analysis. Assessments were performed at baseline and at 24 and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period. Higher PPT values indicate lower pressure pain sensitivity. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured over the \[anatomical region\] using a pressure algometer. Pressure was gradually increased until the participant first reported pain. Two measurements were obtained approximately 30 seconds apart, and the lower value was retained for analysis. PPT was expressed in kilograms per square centimeter (kg/cm²). Assessments were performed at baseline and at 24 and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period. Higher PPT values indicate lower pressure pain sensitivity. |
| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Pressure Pain Threshold of the Left Quadriceps at 24 and 48 Hours | Baseline (before exercise), 24 hours, and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period. | Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured over the left quadriceps muscle region using a pressure algometer. Pressure was gradually increased until the participant first reported pain. Two measurements were obtained approximately 30 seconds apart, and the lower value was retained for analysis. Assessments were performed at baseline and at 24 and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period. Higher PPT values indicate lower pressure pain sensitivity.

| Secondary | Change From Baseline in Pressure Pain Threshold of the Right Hamstrings at 24 and 48 Hours | Baseline (before exercise), 24 hours, and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period. | Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was measured over the right hamstring muscle region using a pressure algometer. Pressure was gradually increased until the participant first reported pain. Two measurements were obtained approximately 30 seconds apart, and the lower value was retained for analysis. Assessments were performed at baseline and at 24 and 48 hours after exercise in each experimental period. Higher PPT values indicate lower pressure pain sensitivity.
