Effect of Foam Rolling on Muscle Mechanical Properties

Effects of Different Variation of Myofascial Release Application Speed on Muscle Mechanical Properties

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Being a professional athlete with at least 2 years of sport history

Exclusion Criteria:

• Having a chronic-systemic disease
