Over the last decade, acute increases in range of motion (ROM) in response to foam rolling
(FR) have been frequently reported. Compared to stretching, FR-induced ROM increases …

Professionals use foam rollers to improve range of motion (ROM). Recently, a vibrating foam
roller (VFR) that combines the vibration function with a foam roller (FR) has been used. The …

Background Foam rolling (FR) is a common intervention utilized for the purpose of acutely
increasing range-of-motion without subsequent decreases in performance. FR is …

Abstract Purpose Foam Rolling (FR), aims to mimic the effects of manual therapy and tackle
dysfunctions of the skeletal muscle and connective tissue. It has been shown to induce …

Purpose Stretching and foam rolling are common warm-up exercises and can acutely
increase the range of motion (ROM) of a joint. However, possible differences in the …

Background Rehabilitation professionals often prescribe foam rolling as an intervention to
augment other manual therapies or as a warm-up or recovery after athletic activity. Currently …

When considering the scientific lack concerning the execution and acute effects and
mechanism of foam rolling (FR), this study has evaluated the biomechanical loads by the …

Although it is well known that foam rolling (FR) of the lower extremities can increase the
range of motion (ROM) of a joint while likely having no detrimental effect on muscle …

In sports and clinical settings, roller massage (RM) interventions are used to acutely
increase range of motion (ROM); however, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Apart …
