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 …

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 …

Increased muscle stiffness can contribute to reduced range of motion (ROM) and impaired
function. Reduced ankle dorsiflexion ROM has been associated with increased injury risk in …

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 …

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

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 …

Comparison between foam rolling with and without vibration on passive and active plantar …

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 …
