Implication

Observational analysis improved balance and explosive strength in elite rowers, indicating PMT may enhance muscle readiness.

Key Points

  • Significant improvements in balance were noted after interventions, with both techniques enhancing performance.
  • Explosive strength increased notably in elite rowers' nondominant limb through vibration therapy and soft tissue mobilization.
  • Assessment using Y Balance Test and Triple Hop Test revealed key performance metrics in rowers post-interventions.
  • PMT may be preferred for enhancing neuromuscular readiness over IASTM due to its positive effects on muscle strength.
