The purpose of this study was to compare of three recovery methods (passive; active and sportmassage) on 800 and 1500 meter records in athlete males. 20 healthy male athletes aged 19 to25 years old took part in this study voluntarily. Between bouts 800 and 1500 meter running;passive recovery during first and fourth sessions; active recovery in second and fifth sessionsand sports massage (quadriceps; hamstring; gluteus and gastrocnemius muscles) recoveryduring third and sixth sessions were used. For statistical analysis of data; two-way repeatedmeasures and LSD post hoc tests were used. Data analyses showed that sports massage; activeand passive recovery have significant effect on increasing 800 and 1500 meter running records(p< 0/05). Also; there was significant difference between received records of passive and sportsmassage recoveries and active and passive recovery too (p< 0/05). It seems that subjects recordsin 800 and 1500 meter running after applying massage; active and passive recovery has beenbetter; respectively (p<0/05).
