Purpose Stretching and foam rolling are common warm-up exercises and can acutely
increase the range of motion (ROM) of a joint. However, possible differences in the …

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 …

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 …

K, Koizumi, R, and Wilke, J. The combined effect of static stretching and foam rolling with or …

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 …

A single use of a vibration foam roller likely increases the range of motion (ROM) without
decreasing muscle strength and athletic performance. However, to date, no study compared …

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 …

Previous research has shown that vibration foam rolling (VFR) on damaged muscle shows
greater improvement in muscle soreness and range of motion (ROM) compared with foam …

Vibration foam rolling (VFR) intervention has recently gained attention in sports and
rehabilitation settings since the superimposed vibration with foam rolling can affect several …

Roller massage has been recognized as an effective intervention for managing various
conditions. However, data on the effects of roller massage on the dynamic mechanisms of …
