Foam rolling is widely used as a regeneration tool. Tissue tone alterations appear to be
reasonable as underlying mechanism and could be detected using myotonometry. Twenty …

Although it is well known that foam rolling (FR) of the lower extremities can increase the
range of motion (ROM) of a joint while likely having no detrimental effect on muscle …

Foam rolling and stretching with its various techniques are frequently used as a warm-up
routine to increase the range of motion of a joint. While the magnitude of the changes in …

Context: Static stretching (SS) and self-administered foam rolling (SAFR) are both effective
techniques often used in rehabilitation settings to improve one's range of motion (ROM) …

Background: Foam rolling is a relatively new technique in improving flexibility of muscle so
its effectiveness has to be studied. Study Design: Experimental Random Control Trial Level …

This study aimed to determine whether foam roller with vibration (FRV) can improve
hamstring flexibility and jump performance in young adults. Twenty subjects were randomly …

Abstract Background/Objective The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effects
of foam rolling (FR) and passive recovery (PR) on symptoms of delayed-onset muscle …

Context: Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation stretching (PNFS) is suggested to
improve the range of motion and flexibility as an active warm-up. Recently, the foam rolling …

Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of static stretching and foam rolling on flexibility and
acute muscle soreness. Methods: Ten active subjects (age: 21.2±0.6 yrs, wt: 74.4±8.9 kg, ht …

Results: Tissue stiffness of the ITB revealed a significant decrease of 13% in experienced
athletes at 30 minutes postintervention (p= 0.002). In inexperienced athletes, a 6% increase …
