This study evaluates effect of self-myofascial release in different paces on muscle biomechanics. All participants will use foam roller in different paces once in a week with weeks apart.
Foam-roller is a widely used self-myofascial release method in sports. Although, effects of foam-roller has been shown, there is no defined speed of usage. Using foam-roller in different paces could cause different changes.
