Effect of deep transverse friction massage vs stretching on football players’ performance

Table 3 Measure of intervention groups’ agility at baseline, acute and chronic phases

	Baseline agility (s)	Acute agility (s)	Chronic agility (s)	Baseline/acute agility (P value)	Baseline/chronic agility (P value)
Static stretching group	10.9 ± 0.3	10.4 ± 0.4	10.2 ± 0.4	0.0012c	0.00013c
Dynamic stretching group	10.5 ± 0.4	9.9 ± 0.3	9.8 ± 0.5	0.0003c	0.078
DTFM group	9.9 ± 0.7	10.1 ± 0.5	9.9 ± 0.5	0.00013c	0.0231a
