12 healthy men aged 18-30 will be included in the study. Participants will be selected from students who regularly train and do active sports at the Faculty of Sports Sciences.

In the second week, manual lymph drainage covering the lower extremities will be applied for 20 minutes after exercise. In the third week, a Swedish massage covering the lower extremities will be applied after exercise. The exercise protocol is planned as 5 sets of 8 repetitions and 2 minutes of rest between each set.
