Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the effects of using an electric massage gun on the heart rate and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) in adolescents. It also aimed to compare the outcomes of using the electric massage gun with situations where it is not used, in terms of heart rate and RPE values. The sample group consisted of 8 male students from the Faculty of Sports Science, Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University, selected through purposive sampling. The research tools included the Rating of Perceived Exertion (RPE) scale, a heart rate monitor, and an electric massage gun. Statistical techniques used for data analysis included the calculation of mean, standard deviation, and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results indicated that both groups experienced a statistically significant increase in RPE and heart rate during intense exercise. In the group that received massage with the electric massage gun, the average heart rate significantly decreased compared to the control group after a normal recovery period. In conclusion, the use of an electric massage gun tends to reduce heart rate
