Abstract
Massage in general and reflexology, in particular, are among the important methods used in the field of training and recovery, and it is considered a safe method and suitable for all ages and for both sexes. It is also economical, and its procedures are easy to conduct. The problem of research tackles joggers’ need for physical preparation commensurate with the type of activity and finding quick ways to restore recovery. In order to solve this problem, the researcher considered a comparison between reflexology massage and neurological facilities in returning functional indicators to their normal state in a faster time and in a scientific manner.
This paper aimed to compare between reflexology massage and neurological facilities on a number of functional indicators, which have an important effect in restoring healing, and their effect in displacing lactic acid, and which of the healing methods is better than the other in restoring recovery, reflexology, or neurological facilitation exercises.
The researcher used the experimental method in a tightly controlled manner for the experimental groups with two tests, before and after, on a sample chosen by the intentional method, consisting of (19) runners who are representing the runners' applicants.
The (pre) tests (after exercise) were conducted on functional indicators, recovery speed (lactic acid), and then (post) tests (after massage) were also conducted.
After statistically processing, displaying, and discussing the data, the researcher concluded that reflexology is better than neurological facilitation and an important means in speeding recovery for the runner to return to his/ her normal or closer to the normal level, and to get rid of lactic acid that causes fatigue, so the researcher recommends including trainers in training courses for massage in general, the use of massage in all stages of training, and the use of special devices to restore runner healing.
