Background Foam rolling (FR) has been demonstrated to acutely enhance joint range of
motion (ROM). However, data syntheses pooling the effect sizes across studies are scarce. It …

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 …

Handheld percussive massage treatment has gained popularity in recent years, for both
therapeutic use and in sports practice. It is used with the goals of increasing flexibility and …

The use of dynamic stretching as a replacement for static stretching in the warm-up is
widespread based on the reports of static stretching-induced performance impairments …

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 …

Purpose The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of using a vibration foam roll
(VFR) or a non-vibration foam roll (NVFR) on maximum voluntary isometric contraction peak …

Dynamic stretching (DS) is performed to increase sports performance and is also used
primarily for transiently increasing range of motion (ROM). Recently, vibration foam rolling …

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 …

Foam rolling (FR) is a new and popular technique for increasing range of motion. While
