To date, there is a lack of information about the optimal conditions of the warm-up to lead to
a better performance in elite tennis players. The aim of this study was to compare the effects …

Context: Warm-up exercise is an essential preexercise routine for athletes to optimize
performance. However, the benefits of combined warm-up protocols remain unclear …

The purpose of our study was to determine the acute effects of dynamic stretching (DS),
foam rolling (FR) and foam rolling combined with dynamic stretching (Combo) protocols on …

Athletes are currently fond of vibration foam rollers (VFRs) and commercial portable
vibration percussion devices (PVPDs). It is still unknown whether using these devices during …

Foam rolling (FR) is a common intervention used as a warm-up to increase the range of
motion (ROM) of a joint, without changes in subsequent performance. It has been shown …

The passive nature of the half-time period with soccer/football can result in second-half
performance decrements. As foam rolling (FR) can increase range of motion, neuromuscular …

Context Foam-rolling exercises are frequently included in warmups due to their benefits for
increasing range of motion (ROM). However, their effects on proprioception and vertical …

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 …

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a combined program involving static
stretching (SS) and foam rolling (FR) on hip flexion (Range of Motion-ROM) and jumping …

Purpose Recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) is paramount in sports
performance. Foam rolling (FR) has been suggested to improve acute performance; …
