Prof. Dr., Ondokuz Mayıs University, 1 Yaşar Doğu Faculty of Sports Sciences, Samsun, Turkey Assoc Prof. Dr., Selçuk University, 2 Faculty of Sports Sciences, Konya, Turkey MSc, Ondokuz Mayıs University, 3 Yaşar Doğu Faculty of Sports Sciences, Samsun, Turkey Abstract: Sports massage science has become an area of interest among many athletes’ instructors, trainers and also sports physiologists. This study was conducted to analyze the effects of massage on uric acid, creatinine and microprotein parameters. The study included 42 participants, 21 in the study group (Ex) and 21 in the control group (C). The first urine samples (urine) were taken within 2-3 hours after the submaximal exercise. After urinary excretions of the subjects were completely finished, the massage protocol was applied to the subjects at the same time of the day. Submaximal exercise was applied to both groups. Following the exercise, massage was applied to the study group. Massage was not applied to the control group. Analyzes were performed by taking urine samples from the subject group twice before and after massage. A statistically significant difference was found in the level of uric acid and creatinine before and after massage which was applied after submaximal exercise (p < 0.01). No statistically significant difference was found in the microprotein level before (6.47 ± 0.97) and after (7.04 ± 1.45) massage which was applied after submaximal exercise (p > 0.05). In accordance with the data obtained, although it was determined that massage had effects on the measured parameters; it was not clear in what ways these effects were. It is estimated that the change in uric acid levels may be due to antioxidant properties and massage may cause this change by affecting the antioxidant defense Copyright © The Author(s).

It is suggested to take the level of creatinine, uric acid and microprotein into account for performance improvement and regulation and balancing the resting period of the athletes.
