In sports exercise, the use of massage gun can be divided into three parts, namely warm-up before exercise, activation during exercise, and recovery after exercise.
Before exercise, use a massage gun to quickly impact the muscles you want to exercise, so that the temperature and blood flow of the muscles will increase, which will help to achieve a quick warm-up effect.
Use the massage gun in the interval between the two sets of exercises to activate the tired muscles again and prepare for the next set of exercises. The vibration of the massage gun has high and low frequencies, and the high frequency plays a role a little shallower. If it is a deep muscle, the low frequency is used more, and the low frequency impact will be slower and longer lasting. The application of high frequency is more of friction, which generates heat through friction, which is more suitable for relieving muscle stiffness.
After exercise, use a massage gun, according to the principle of trigger points, to impact the muscles after a long time to help metabolize lactic acid and reduce muscle tension. For example, after doing push-ups, use the massage gun to hit the pectoralis major and pectoralis minor muscles for more than two minutes.
