Foam rolling (FR) is a new and popular technique for increasing range of motion. While
there are a few studies that demonstrate increased performance measures after an acute …

Objective To identify the effects of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) and
foam roller self-myofascial release (FRSMR) strategies and verify their results in athletic …

This study evaluated the effects of a single exercise session of Self-Myofascial Release
(SMR) on the posterior muscular chain flexibility after one hour from the intervention. Thirty …

This study investigated the changes in fascicle length (FL), musculotendinous unit (MTU)
stiffness, muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2), and muscular performance following a single …

Background Long-term static stretching as well as foam rolling training can increase a joint's
range of motion (ROM). However, to date, it is not clear which method is the most effective …

Objective To investigate the influence of myofascial release (MFR) techniques on
biomechanical parameters, including force, speed, Range of Motion (ROM), and flexibility in …

Although myofascial release techniques (MRTs) are commonly used to improve athletes'
range of motion (ROM), the effectiveness of MRTs may vary depending on the specific …

Introduction Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are one of the most common injuries for soccer
players and there is a need for new clinical-based studies on the rehabilitation of these …

This study aimed to examine the effects of 6-week vibration (VFR) and non-vibration foam
rolling (FR) on muscle strength, hamstrings-to-quadriceps (H: Q) ratio, flexibility, and …

Introduction Age-induced inflexibility may lead to significant mobility impairments and
declines in well-being. However, the relationship between the structural and mechanical …
