Purpose: Understand the effectiveness of foam rolling as a recovery tool following exercise
induced muscle damage (EIMD), analyzing: muscle soreness, dynamic and passive range …

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 …

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 …

Background Foam roller and vibration techniques are currently used to assist in recovery
after fatigue. The main purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the use of a foam …

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 …

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 …

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

Context: Foam rolling (FR) increases joint range of motion (RoM), but the optimal training
parameters are unknown. Objective: To investigate the effect of FR velocity on RoM and …

Objective To conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis assessing the effects of foam
rolling on range of motion, laboratory-and field-based athletic measures, and on recovery …

Self myofascial therapy via foam roller is a common technique used by many athletes and
patients to aid recovery, improve range of motion (ROM) and prevent injury. Further, it is …
