The techniques I utilize in my pre-event beijing massage are: Effleurage, compression/broadening, petrissage (kneading), ROM, Active Isolated Stretching, vibration, and tapotement (percussion). If you use oil/lotion on them before they compete, be sure they are able to wipe or wash off the excess, as it could interfere with their heat regulation through their skin. When working at the NCAA track championships, I would often perform the pre-event massage at the hotel and encourage the athletes to take a quick shower to wash off any excess oil.

All techniques should be performed at an up-tempo pace. Remember, we are not trying to soothe the athlete before competition. Keeping the pace of the effleurage and petrissage quicker than you would in a normal massage can even help to psych-up the athlete before competition.
When performing pre-event massage, the therapist should avoid using deep pressure on the athlete. Although some studies have found no change in performance following a pre-event  massage beijing, a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2) found a decrease in muscle force production of the knee extensors immediately following a lower limb massage. From personal experience, I have received feedback from track athletes that deep work makes their legs feel "dead" and unresponsive following deep tissue work.
Further, we do not want to perform relaxation techniques. At the time of the pre-event massage, the athletes are trying to get "hyped-up" for competition, and soothing Swedish massage techniques can inhibit the sympathetic nervous system and potentially harm their performance.
Finally, right before competition is not the time to achieve significant increases in flexibility, as the athlete is not used to the increased flexibility, and they may not have adequate strength in this new range of motion. Any work to improve range of motion should be saved for the therapeutic sports massage sessions you provide in the weeks leading up to competition, when the athlete will be able to properly adapt their neuromuscular control to these changes fwek7dl. Just remember, they've gotten this far with the flexibility they have, now is not the time to make big changes.
