ABSTRACT
Foam rolling has been proposed to improve muscle function, performance, and joint range of motion (ROM). However, whether a foam protocol can be adopted as warm-up flexibility strength is unclear.To examine compare the acute effects rolling, static stretching, dynamic stretching used part on knee flexion extension.Crossover study.University research laboratory.15 male 15 female college students (age 21.43 ± 1.48 y, weight 65.13 12.29 kg, height 166.90 6.99 cm).Isokinetic peak torque was measured during extension at an angular velocity 60°/second. Flexibility quadriceps assessed by modified Thomas test, while hamstrings using sit-and-reach test. The 3 interventions were performed all participants in random order days separated 48-72 hours.The test scores improved significantly more after compared with stretching. With regard strength, only (pre vs. postintervention) but not Knee remained unchanged.Foam effective than acutely increasing without hampering may recommended healthy young adults.
