Introduction Self-massage using a foam roller (foam rolling) has been used to improve joint
range of motion (ROM). However, the effect of foam rolling on the morphology of a targeted
muscle, tendon, and muscle-tendon unit (MTU) has not been fully clarified. This study aimed
to investigate extensibility changes in the gastrocnemius muscle (GM), MTU, and the
Achilles tendon (AT) in terms of maximum ankle dorsiflexion (max-DF) following a foam
rolling intervention. This was an interventional study with no controls. Methods Study …
