Effect of Myofascial Release on Muscle Mechanical Properties

May 17, 2023 updated by: Atilla Çağatay Sezik, Hacettepe University

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.

Detailed Description

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.

Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Foam-roller I-II-III
Participants will use foam roller in following order of 30RPM(I), 15RPM(II) and self-determined(III)
Other: 30 rolls per minute(30RPM)
Participants will start using foam roller from muscle origin to insertion with a speed of 2 secs. Then comeback from insertion to origin with 2 secs. With total of 15 repeats x 2 sets per leg. With 30 seconds rest between.
Other: 15 rolls per minute(15RPM)
Participants will start using foam roller from muscle origin to insertion with a speed of 4 secs. Then comeback from insertion to origin with 4 secs. With total of 15 repeats x 2 sets per leg. With 30 seconds rest between.
Other: self-determined
Participants will start using foam roller from muscle origin to insertion with self determined-speed. Then comeback from insertion to origin with same pace. With total of 15 repeats x 2 sets per leg. With 30 seconds rest between.
