Post Sports Massage should be used to speed up blood and ______ flow and help remove any waste products remaining in the muscles, and this massage should be quite light using mainly effleurage and light kneading.
- Lymph
- Toxin
Correct Answer

A. Lymph

Explanation

Lymph is a clear fluid that circulates throughout the body and plays a crucial role in removing waste and toxins from the tissues. By promoting lymph flow, a post sports massage can enhance the body's natural detoxification process and aid in muscle recovery. Therefore, the correct answer is lymph.
