Fascial tissue ensures optimal function and mobility by providing gliding and force transfer during movement. However, fascial order can be disrupted in cases such as overuse and trauma. Therefore, treatment of fascial tissue is important. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of different myofascial release techniques on jumping performance, flexibility, balance, and proprioception in amateur football players.
Fascial tissue ensures optimal function by providing gliding and force transfer during movement. It is also associated with an increase in functional capacity by providing flexibility. However, excessive exercise, incorrect movements, and excessive load on the tissue cause dysfunctions in the fascial tissue, leading to myofascial limitations. Elimination of these limitations is important for the maintenance of optimal function. Fascia also provides sensory transmission as a proprioceptive organ. Myofascial limitations also cause problems in sensory organization, leading to injuries and injuries. For this reason, a decrease in flexibility, balance, and sports functions can be observed. Various methods are used to eliminate this myofascial limitation, and there is an increasing demand for myofascial release techniques in many areas daily. The effects of different myofascial release techniques have been examined in the literature in various disease groups and sports injuries, and their effects on joint range of motion, pain, and flexibility have been shown. However, since there are different release techniques, information on which method is more effective or the optimal usage period is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of different myofascial release techniques applied with Graston and foam roller on jumping performance, flexibility, balance, and proprioception in amateur football players.
