Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of foam rolling (FR) on
hamstring muscles stiffness in both non-damaged and exercise-induced muscle damage …

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 …

Context: Foam rolling (FR) has been developed into a popular intervention and has been
established in various sports disciplines. However, its effects on target tissue, including …

This study investigated the effects of active and/or passive warm‐up tasks on the hamstring
muscles stiffness through elastography and passive torque measurements. On separate …

Purpose: Foam rolling (FR) is widely used for post-exercise muscle recovery; yet, the effects
of FR on skeletal muscle inflammation and microvascular perfusion following prolonged …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of foam rolling (FR) on symptoms
associated with exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). A total of eight participants (n= 5 …

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 …

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 …

Background Foam rolling (FR) has been shown to alleviate some symptoms of exercise-
induced muscle damage and has been suggested to increase range of motion (ROM) …

Background Self-administered foam rolling (SAFR) is an effective massage technique often
used in sport and rehabilitation settings to improve range of motion (ROM) without impairing …
