Although HFP massage reportedly improves range of motion (ROM), the mechanism underlying its action has not yet been proven. This study aimed to clarify whether a 5-minute percussive massage regimen affects muscular or connective tissues, such as the deep fascia and deep intermuscular fascia and the change in joint ROM. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Method<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> The study sample was calculated using G*Power analysis program, and this study enrolled 15 healthy men who underwent 5-minute HFP massage to the medial gastrocnemius muscle. Shear-wave elastography was used to measure tissue stiffness in the deep fascia, muscle, and deep intermuscular fascia through shear-wave velocity as well as the ROM of the volunteers\u2019 ankle joint dorsiflexion before and after the HFP massage. A value of <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.05 was used to declare statistical significance, and post hoc was used to calculate the effect size using G*Power. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Shear-wave velocity revealed a significant change in the deep fascia (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.003; shear-wave velocity: \u22120.7\u00a0m\/s) and significant increase in ROM of ankle dorsiflexion (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.002; increase in ROM: 3.0\u00b0) after 5\u00a0minutes of HFP massage. However, the muscle and deep intermuscular fascia did not exhibit any significant changes. <jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> HFP massage for 5\u00a0minutes modified the stiffness of the deep fascia and concurrently improved the ankle joint-dorsiflexion ROM. This method can be used as an intervention to decrease stiffness of the deep fascia and increase the ROM efficiently.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jsr.2022-0455","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,20]],"date-time":"2024-03-20T18:39:11Z","timestamp":1710959951000},"page":"252-258","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Acute Effects of Local High-Frequency Percussive Massage on Deep Fascial and Muscular Stiffness and Joint Range of Motion in Young Adult Men"],"prefix":"10.1123","volume":"33","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9197-473X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Zijian","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Sport Sciences, Waseda University, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-1921-3415","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Yicheng","family":"Zhong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Sport Sciences, Waseda University, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8683-2059","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Toshihiro","family":"Maemichi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Waseda University, Saitama, Japan"},{"name":"Institute of Life Innovation Studies, Toyo University, Tokyo, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qianhui","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Sport Sciences, Waseda University, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7801-9815","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Takumi","family":"Okunuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Sport Sciences, Waseda University, Saitama, Japan"},{"name":"Institute of Life Innovation Studies, Toyo University, Tokyo, Japan"},{"name":"Research Organization of Science and Technology, Ritsumeikan University\/Research Fellow of Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanshu","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Human Sciences, Waseda University, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wakamiya","family":"Kazuki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Sport Sciences, Waseda University, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3738-9171","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Tsukasa","family":"Kumai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sport Sciences, Waseda University, Saitama, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"100","reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"r1","series-title":"Int J Sports Phys Ther","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"766","DOI":"10.26603\/001c.23530","article-title":"Mechanical percussion devices: a survey of practice patterns among healthcare professionals","volume":"16","author":"Cheatham SW","year":"2021","unstructured":"Cheatham SW, Baker RT, Behm DG, Stull K, Kolber MJ.
