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 …

Recent developments in the strength and conditioning field have shown the incorporation of
foam rolling self-myofascial release in adjunct with a dynamic warm-up. This is thought to …

The passive nature of the half-time period with soccer/football can result in second-half
performance decrements. As foam rolling (FR) can increase range of motion, neuromuscular …

Abstract Madoni, SN, Costa, PB, Coburn, JW, and Galpin, AJ. Effects of foam rolling on
range of motion, peak torque, muscle activation, and the hamstrings-to-quadriceps strength …

It is known that high-intensity exercise can cause inflammation and damage in muscle
tissue, and in recent years, physical therapists and fitness professionals have begun to use …

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 …

Static stretching (SS) and dynamic stretching (DS) in combination with foam rolling (FR)
have been attracting attention as warm-up routines in sports. However, the combined and …

Background Foam rollers, or other similar devices, are a method for acutely increasing
range of motion, but in contrast to static stretching, do not appear to have detrimental effects …

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 Self-myofascial release (SMR) aims to mimic the effects of manual therapy and
tackle dysfunctions of the skeletal muscle and connective tissue. It has been shown to …
