Figure 3. Mean ± SD changes in the numerical rating scale (NRS) of soreness from the percussive massage (PM) and control (CON) group during pre-eccentric exercise (pre-EE) and 24, 48, and 72 h post-eccentric exercise. On the post-eccentric exercise visits, values were collected before treatment (BT) and after treatment (AT). p < 0.05: significant interaction. *p < 0.05 vs. CON; † p < 0.05 vs. pre-EE; ‡p < 0.05 vs. BT (same day visit)
