Performance sports like the discus throw can lead to muscle fatigue due to high-intensity and continuous training programs, so effective recovery methods are needed to speed up recovery and maintain an athlete's performance. A combination method of sports massage and warm exposure from infrared lamps is expected to improve blood circulation, reduce muscle tension, accelerate the removal of metabolic waste, and support the athlete's physical readiness for the next training session. This study aims to find out whether there is an effect of giving sports massage combined with warm exposure from infrared lamps on the recovery and performance of discus throw athletes in Tulungagung Regency. The study used an experimental method with a One Group Pretest-Posttest Design, with 6 discus throw athletes in Tulungagung Regency as the research subjects.The research instruments used were measuring discus throw performance through throw distance tests before and after the treatment, as well as a recovery questionnaire for athletes given periodically during the research process. Based on the measurements, all athletes experienced an increase in throwing distance after the treatment, with the percentage increase ranging from 2.5% to 17.9%, and an average performance improvement of 10%. In addition, the recovery measurements showed an increase in scores from the initial condition, with an average value of 37 rising to 55.5 after the treatment, with an average percentage increase of 50.14%.References
