Purpose The chronic effects of unilateral foam rolling (FR) or FR with vibration (VFR)
intervention on the rolling and non-rolling sides (cross-education effects) are still unclear …

Background Foam rolling (FR) has been demonstrated to acutely enhance joint range of
motion (ROM). However, data syntheses pooling the effect sizes across studies are scarce. It …

Background Foam rolling (FR) is a ubiquitous intervention utilised for the purpose of acutely
increasing the range of motion without subsequent decreases in performance. Thus, it is …

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 …

Despite its beneficial effects on flexibility and muscle soreness, there is still conflicting
evidence regarding dose-response relationships and underlying mechanisms of foam …

Background A single foam-rolling exercise can acutely increase the range of motion (ROM)
of a joint. However, to date the adaptational effects of foam-rolling training over several …

Abstract Kiyono, R, Onuma, R, Yasaka, K, Sato, S, Yahata, K, and Nakamura, M. Effects of 5-
week foam rolling intervention on range of motion and muscle stiffness. J Strength Cond Res …

Context: Foam rolling (FR) has been developed into a popular intervention and has been
established in various sports disciplines. However, its effects on target tissue, including …

Foam rolling is thought to improve muscular performance and flexibility as well as to
alleviate muscle fatigue and soreness. For this reason, foam rolling has become a popular …

Context: After an intense bout of exercise, foam rolling is thought to alleviate muscle fatigue
and soreness (ie, delayed-onset muscle soreness [DOMS]) and improve muscular …
