Sports massage
Athletes are much more fatigued than the general population, mainly because their training and racing performance is very often at the limit of metabolic and mental possibilities.
Striving for maximum performance also requires a more thorough and consistent approach to regeneration.
Training preparation cannot be increased indefinitely. It is determined both by leisure time and by the size of the physical load. Therefore, it is necessary to apply perfect and effective comprehensive regeneration, which shortens the duration of the most necessary recovery, so that the further implementation of the training unit leads to an increase in performance.
Comprehensive regeneration has an effect on positively influencing fitness, performance and thus achieving the maximum possible performance.
Auxiliary massage products
Some massage touches can be successfully performed with a „dry hand“ and on a dry body. These include grasping and pulling, all variants of beating, shaking, shaking and movements in the joints. In the case of many other touches, performing dry touches is unpleasant or even painful for the person being massaged. That is why means are used to facilitate the glide of the masseur’s hand over the massaged part of the body. Suitable auxiliary means this enable the perfect execution of some touches and their composition increases the effect of these touches even more.
For athletes, we use Snow White gel for tired or painful areas of the body. The contained menthol and ethanol have a cooling, refreshing and circulating effect,
chestnut extract anti-inflammatory and comfrey extract have a healing effect.
If we need blood circulation and muscle relaxation, we use Snow White warming gel, which we massage into tired areas of the body. The warming ingredient obtained from vanilla has a warming, circulating and relaxing effect, chestnut extract has an anti-inflammatory effect and arnica extract has a warming effect on bruises and swelling.

Effects of massage
From the various types of massage, it has already emerged that depending on the touches, their direction and intensity, or according to the auxiliary means used, we can achieve different goals and even contradictory effects.
Sports massage is an organized set of suitable massage touches that help the athlete get rid of fatigue or prepare him to perform at full capacity. Therapeutic sports massage accelerates the treatment of some illnesses and especially injuries of the athlete.
When performing massage correctly, it is necessary to follow certain rules:
1. It is not enough to know all the groups and types of massage touches, and it is not even enough to be able to perform them skillfully and correctly. A sports massage composed of these elements is created only when we perform the touches in the correct order, that is, in an orderly manner.
2. In most injuries, the immediate use of massage of the injured area does not help the athlete, but harms him. Proper treatment after possible first aid begins with a diagnosis made by a doctor. This determines the further course of treatment and also in which phase of healing the therapeutic massage should begin. At this stage, massage is beneficial and sometimes represents an irreplaceable service on the way to a faster and, most importantly, full return of health and normal function of the affected area.
From the very definition of sports massage, it follows that under different circumstances, the massage of an athlete performs different tasks. According to this, we distinguish five types of sports massage.
Preparatory massage
Emergency massage
Massage between individual procedures
Massage to relieve fatigue
