Foam Rolling

Review of studies confirms foam rolling improves flexibility acutely and chronically, reduces delayed onset muscle soreness, and aids recovery, with modest support for short-term athletic performance enhancements in healthy individuals.

Four-week foam rolling intervention in professional basketball players increased ankle dorsiflexion range of motion and lower limb balance, with gains declining after cessation, supporting acute and short-term flexibility benefits.

Meta-analysis showed pre-rolling improves sprint performance and flexibility acutely, while post-rolling attenuates declines in sprint and strength, reduces muscle pain perception, with trivial effects on jump performance in healthy athletes.
