The number of samples amounted to 12 people. The sampling technique uses total quota sampling. The results of the tests carried out by the hydrotherapy group obtained values with an average (Mean) = 139.25 (pretest), 7.72 (posttest), and a Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05. For the sports massage group, the average value (Mean) = 139.91 (pretest), 7.87 (posttest), and Sig. = 0.000 < 0.05. Based on the results of significance <0.05, there is a significant difference in lactic acid levels. For effectiveness, the difference in values for the hydrotherapy group and the sports massage group, there is a difference in lactate difference of 0.50. It can be concluded that the effectiveness of the two methods does not really have a different impact.
