The development of sports massage services in large cities such as Surabaya requires service providers to deliver service quality that meets customer expectations. This study aimed to analyze the service quality of sports massage services in Surabaya using the SERVQUAL approach. A descriptive quantitative method with a survey design was employed. The research sample consisted of 100 respondents who were users of sports massage services, selected using an accidental sampling technique. The research instrument was a SERVQUAL questionnaire comprising five dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy, measured using a 5-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed descriptively by calculating the mean scores of perceptions, expectations, and the service quality gap (perception–expectation). The results indicated that all SERVQUAL dimensions exhibited negative gap values, suggesting that customers’ perceptions had not fully met their expectations. The largest gaps were found in the reliability and assurance dimensions (–0.57), while the smallest gap was observed in the responsiveness dimension (–0.52). In conclusion, the quality of sports massage services in Surabaya can be categorized as good; however, improvements are still required, particularly in service reliability and assurance, to optimally meet customer expectations.

Sports activities play a crucial role in improving an individual's quality of life, physical fitness, and overall health. However, individuals must balance adequate physical preparation with increased training intensity and frequency. Neglecting these factors increases the risk of sports injuries. For some individuals who engage in recreational sports activities, as well as professional athletes, injuries such as overuse injuries, ligament sprains, and muscle strains are possible. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of strength training on increasing muscle mass and preventing sports injuries. The research method adopted is a qualitative research method. The results show that strength training is a physical exercise aimed at increasing muscle endurance, muscle mass, and strength through the application of weight to the body, thus preventing sports injuries. The study concluded that muscle mass increases are influenced by strength training. The amount of muscle mass gained is influenced by factors such as the duration of the training and the variety of strength training movements. Furthermore, strength training also plays a role in preventing sports injuries. Strength training plays a significant role in injury prevention because it can strengthen and stabilize joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles.
