We aimed to compare the effects between non-vibration foam rolling (NVFR) and vibration
foam rolling (VFR) on visual analogic scale (VAS), pressure pain threshold (PPT), oxygen …

A single bout of foam rolling (FR) can acutely increase joint range of motion (ROM) without
detrimental effects on subsequent muscle performance. Similarly, long-term FR training can …

Objectives of the study were to compare the effects of a single bout of preventive or
regenerative foam rolling (FR) on exercise-induced neuromuscular exhaustion. Single …

Abstract “Foam Rolling” has been used in sports settings to increase range of motion and
decrease muscle stiffness without decreasing muscle strength and athletic performance …

Methods: In a crossover study, 16 (34±6y, 6f) participants received all the following
interventions in a permutated random order: a) 2x60 seconds of FR at the anterior thigh, b) …

Context: Many athletes report that foam rollers help release tension in their muscles, thus
resulting in greater range of motion (ROM) when used before stretching. To date, no …

The purpose of this study was to determine the acute effect of hamstring foam rolling on
proprioception at the knee and hip joints. Twenty-five participants completed two …

Foam rolling (RF) has been recently proposed as a recovery strategy to reduce Delayed
Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). It consists of a mechanical technique that mimics manual …

Static stretching (SS), foam rolling (FR), and a combination of both are used as warm-ups for
sports and training. However, no reports have compared or examined the warm-up effects of …

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 …
