• Young

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Infrared Heating	5 minutes of cycling warm-up 10 minutes of infrared application to dominant quadriceps Infrared applied at 90° angle on bare skin while participant rests in prone position Mechanism: IR-induced deep tissue heating increasing molecular activity and passive warm-up effect
OTHER	Therapeutic Massage	5 minutes of cycling warm-up 10 minutes of standardized classical massage applied by trained personnel Techniques used: Stroking (effleurage), local stroking, kneading (rolling technique) Massage oil warmed in hands prior to application
