Foam rollers are versatile tools that will help you get more out
of your workouts through increasing your flexibility and decreasing the soreness that occurs after tough exercise
bouts.
However, noting the significant gain in hip extension in the intervention group from prelunge to postlunge in the second session and comparing them to the results reported by Macdonald et al. (6)
of immediate gains in knee flexion angle post
foam rolling, it is reasonable to conclude that the effects
of foam rolling are immediate, even in a dynamic movement, but do not remain for longer
bouts of time.
The intervention group performed
foam rolling between the lunges
of sessions 1 and 2 and for 5 separate unsupervised sessions occurring on different days
of this same 3 × 1 minute
bout of rolling in the week between sessions 1 and 2.
The first objective was to determine if an acute
bout of SMR via a high - pressure
foam roller affects volitional and evoked quadriceps muscle force.
In conclusion, the data presented in this study suggest that an acute
bout (only 2 minutes)
of slow undulating
foam rolling of the quadriceps on a high - pressure
foam roller significantly increases quadriceps ROM.
One experimental day consisted
of an SMR
bout using
foam rollers followed by a series
of athletic performance tests.
