the purpose of this study was to compare the effect of two types of recovery (massage and running in cold water) on creatine kinase (CK) and C-reactive protein (CRP) of soccer players following a simulated soccer activity. 14 youth male soccer players were purposefully selected and randomly placed in two groups of recovery of massage and recovery of running in cold water (7 people in each group). On the day of the sports test, at 10:00 AM, all the subjects participated in a simulated soccer physical activity session with the difference that the massage group recovered by massage after the activity; And the cold water running group recovered after the activity by running in cold water. Immediately after the activity, after recovery, 24 hours later and 48 hours after the activity, blood samples were taken from all subjects. The serum levels of CK and CRP first increased and then began to decrease, and these changes were significant (P<0.05), but the difference between the two groups was not significant (P>0.05). Probably, recovery in water or in the form of massage leads to the reduction of inflammation in young football players after a simulated football activity, but there is no difference between the two types of recovery.
