Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effects of the Body Action Therapy program and traditional sports massage on shoulder and hamstring flexibility in elite college athletes. Methods: The participants, all elite college athletes aged 18 years and older, were divided into three groups: the Body Action Therapy Group (BATG), Sports Massage Group (SMG), and Control Group (CG). Resuits: Both the BATG and SMG received shoulder and hamstring flexibility improvement programs for 15 minutes twice a week for 8 weeks. Shoulder flexibility was measured using the Apley Scratch Test, while hamstring flexibility was assessed using the sit-and-reach test. This study found significant improvements in left shoulder and hamstring flexibility in both BATG and SMG, with no significant changes observed in right shoulder flexibility. Conclusion: Demonstrated significant improvements in left shoulder and hamstring flexibility in both the Body Action Therapy and Sports Massage groups compared to the control group. No significant changes were observed in right shoulder flexibility, and no significant difference was found between the two interventions. Future research should include a diverse range of sports and fitness levels and evaluate the impact of flexibility improvements on athletic performance. Additionally, it is necessary to develop customized manual therapy programs that reflect the preferences and constraints of the participants. KCI Citation Count: 0
