The meta-analysis method was used in the study. Meta-analysis is a statistical method used to combine the results of different research studies to answer a similar research question. It includes randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies examining the effect of sports massage on post-exercise fatigue. The study was designed in accordance with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. The findings indicate that sports massage is effective in reducing post-exercise fatigue symptoms and accelerating athletes&#039; recovery processes. Most of the studies included in the analysis demonstrate that sports massage reduces muscle pain, improves muscle function, and minimizes inflammatory responses. However, there are some differences and debates in the research regarding the effectiveness of sports massage. Nevertheless, there is strong evidence overall for the potential of sports massage to reduce post-exercise fatigue and accelerate athletes&#039; recovery processes. However, further randomized controlled trials and research in various populations are needed to optimize the effectiveness of sports massage and standardize application protocols. Future studies should focus on different sports disciplines and athlete profiles to evaluate the effectiveness of sports massage in a broader context.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Bu çalışma, spor masajının antrenman sonrası yorgunluk üzerindeki etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada meta-analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Meta analiz; farklı araştırma çalışmalarının sonuçlarını bir araya getirerek, benzer bir araştırma sorusuna cevap aramak için kullanılan istatistiksel bir yöntemdir. Spor masajının antrenman sonrası yorgunluk üzerindeki etkisini inceleyen randomize kontrollü çalışmaları (RCT) ve gözlemsel çalışmaları kapsamaktadır. Çalışma, PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) yönergelerine uygun olarak tasarlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, spor masajının, antrenman sonrası yorgunluk belirtilerini azaltmada ve sporcuların toparlanma süreçlerini hızlandırmada etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Analize dâhil edilen çalışmaların büyük bir kısmı, spor masajının kas ağrısını azalttığını, kas fonksiyonlarını iyileştirdiğini ve inflamasyon tepkilerini minimize ettiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Öte yandan, spor masajının etkinliği konusunda bazı araştırmalarda farklılıklar ve tartışmalar bulunmaktadır. Ancak, genel olarak spor masajının antrenman sonrası yorgunluğu azaltma ve sporcuların iyileşme süreçlerini hızlandırma potansiyeli konusunda güçlü kanıtlar bulunmaktadır. Ancak, spor masajının etkinliğinin optimize edilmesi ve uygulama protokollerinin standardize edilmesi için daha fazla randomize kontrollü çalışmalara ve çeşitli popülasyonlarda yapılan araştırmalara ihtiyaç vardır. Gelecek çalışmalar, farklı spor dalları ve sporcu profilleri üzerinde odaklanarak, spor masajının etkinliğini daha geniş bir çerçevede değerlendirmelidir.</p></trans-abstract>
