Description Module

Brief Summary

This study will analyze the effects of foam rolling and heat therapy effect force production in the legs during a squat jump.

Detailed Description

The objective of the research is to study the effects of how foam rolling and heat therapy impact force production in the rectus femoris, utilizing a counter movement jump and an isometric knee extension to test force production.

Outcomes Module

Primary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Force Production	Force produced in a countermovement jump. A higher production of force equates to improved neuromuscular function and is the desireable outcome.	30 minutes

Secondary Outcomes

Measure	Description	Time Frame
Isometric Force Production	Isometric Quad Force Production. A higher force production for an isometric knee extension is the desired quadriceps outcome post intervention.	30 minutes
