Acute whole body vibration interventions (AWBV) have been a focus in the literature and field applications, particularly in the field of health and sports sciences, and their effects on performance and fitness components still have been discussed. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sports massage and passive resting applications for recovery following acute whole body vibration loads on static-dynamic balance and vertical jump performances. A total of 15 active individuals (22.8 +/- 0.8 years) performed 3 sets of calf raise and squat exercises in the range of 30-50 Hz (+/- 4 mm) on the vibration platform. Lower extremity sports massage (SM) was applied to the participants for 20 minutes immediately after the vibration excercises. Measurements were taken at three time points as follows; before the vibration, after the vibration and after SM or PR application. The same participants performed passive resting (PR) instead of SM with the same loading and measuremetns protocol after a week. According to the findings, there is a significant difference in the dynamic two leg balance performance between pre and post AWBV measurements (p <0.05). There is a statistically significant difference between static two-leg balance and static right- leg balance values before and after SM application (p <0.05). In addition, statistically significant differences are determined between the measurements before AWBV and at the end of PR (p <0.05). No statistically significant difference is noted among all vertical jump measurements in both applications (p> 0.05). In this study, AWBV improved dynamic two leg balance, while AWBV and PR improved dynamic left leg balance performance. In addition, SM application after AWBV positively improved static two legs and right leg balance performances. As a result, vibration interventions can contribute to dynamic balance positively in recreational sports, and recovery massage can positively affect the static balance.
