Abstract
This study aimed to compare the effects of four recovery methods; massage, cold water immersion (CWI), stretching, and passive rest on heart rate, speed, and muscle strength in young male football players following high-intensity training. A randomized controlled experimental design was employed. Forty male football players from Tessaban 1 Wat Chiang-i School, aged 15–18 years, were selected through purposive sampling and randomly allocated into four groups of ten: massage, CWI (10–15°C for 10 minutes), stretching, and passive rest. Physical performance was assessed before and after each recovery intervention using a blood pressure monitor for heart rate, a 10-meter sprint test for speed, and a Back and Leg Dynamometer for isometric muscle strength. Data were analyzed using Paired Sample t-test, One-way ANOVA, and Bonferroni post-hoc comparisons at a significance level of .05.The results show that all groups showed statistically significant reductions in heart rate following recovery (p < .05). The massage group demonstrated the lowest post-recovery heart rate (68.80 ± 4.53 bpm), significantly lower than the CWI and stretching groups (p < .05). Regarding speed, the massage, CWI, and stretching groups showed significant improvements in 10-meter sprint time, whereas the passive rest group showed no significant change (p = .16), with CWI demonstrating the greatest improvement. For muscle strength, all groups showed statistically significant increases post-recovery. The massage group achieved the highest mean strength (50.30 ± 4.83 kg), significantly exceeding all other groups (p < .001), while CWI produced the greatest rate of improvement
In conclusion, massage was most effective for reducing heart rate and maintaining overall muscle strength, while CWI showed superior performance in restoring speed and promoting muscle strength development. Passive rest demonstrated the least effectiveness across all outcomes. These findings provide practical guidance for coaches and sport scientists in selecting appropriate recovery strategies aligned with training goals and competition schedules
