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 …

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 …

Although it is well known that both stretching and foam rolling can acutely increase the
range of motion (ROM) and affect performance, the effects of a combined treatment (foam …

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 …

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 …

Background Foam rolling has been extensively investigated, showing benefits in
performance and recovery. Recently, vibration has been added to foam rollers, with …

Abstract Nakamura, M, Konrad, A, Kasahara, K, Yoshida, R, Murakami, Y, Sato, S, Aizawa,
K, Koizumi, R, and Wilke, J. The combined effect of static stretching and foam rolling with or …

Knee extension and hip flexion range of motion (ROM) and functional performance of the
hamstrings are of great importance in many sports. The aim of this study was to investigate if …

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 …

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 …
