A total of 30 healthy male university students were recruited and randomly assigned to six groups, with five participants in each group. Healthy students were recruited via public announcements and randomly assigned to 6 groups: massage therapy (Group A), CMI (Group B), vibration therapy (Group C), static stretching (Group D), FES (Group E), and control (Group F). After DOMS was induced in the quadriceps, participants received the designated recovery interventions. Assessments were conducted at baseline, immediately post-exercise, and at 24, 48, and 72 h, including tensiomyography (TMG), pressure pain threshold (PPT), knee joint range of motion (ROM), isokinetic strength (ISOK), and biochemical markers (CK, Ca\n                      <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                      , IL-6).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirty participants completed the study.
