Abstract “Foam Rolling” has been used in sports settings to increase range of motion and
decrease muscle stiffness without decreasing muscle strength and athletic performance …

Context: Foam rolling has been proposed to improve muscle function, performance, and
joint range of motion (ROM). However, whether a foam rolling protocol can be adopted as a …

Foam rolling and eccentric exercise interventions have been demonstrated to improve range
of motion (ROM). However, these two modalities have not been directly compared. Twenty …

Background Physiotherapists and other practitioners commonly prescribe foam rolling as an
intervention, but the mechanistic effects of this intervention are not known. Purpose The aim …
