“…Foam rolling uses different tools, such as polypropylene rollers and balls, to apply a compressive force to soft tissue, but its mechanisms are a matter of constant debate [ 13 ]. Currently, an increased blood flow, the consequent greater removal of fatigue-inducing metabolites, and changes in thixotropic characteristics of the fascial tissue have been proposed as possible mechanisms [ 14 ]. Alternatively, static stretching (SS) has been traditionally prescribed following different modalities and intensities of exercise during a cooldown phase, even though recent evidence neither supports nor contradicts the use of postexercise stretching [ 15 ].…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the foam rolling technique and static stretching on perceptual and neuromuscular parameters following a bout of high-intensity functional training (HIFT), which consisted of 100 pull-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 air squats (Angie benchmark) in recreationally trained men (n = 39). Following baseline measurements (Feeling Scale, Visual Analogue Scale, Total Quality Recovery, Sit-and-Reach, Countermovement Jump, and Change-of-Direction t-test), the volunteers performed a single bout of HIFT. At the end of the session, participants were randomly assigned to one of three distinct groups: control (CONT), foam rolling (FR), or static stretching (SS). At the 24 h time-point, a second experimental session was conducted to obtain the post-test values. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05. Regarding power performance, none of the three groups reached pretest levels at 24 h point of the intervention. However, the CONT group still showed a greater magnitude of effect at the 24 h time-point (ES = 0.51, p ≥ 0.05). Flexibility presented the same recovery pattern as power performance (post × 24 h CONT = ES = 0.28, FR = ES = 0.21, SS = ES = 0.19). At 24 h, all groups presented an impaired performance in the COD t-test (CONT = ES = 0.24, FR = ES = 0.65, SS = ES = 0.56 p ≥ 0.05). The FR protocol resulted in superior recovery perceptions (pre × 24 h TQR = ES = 0.32 p ≥ 0.05). The results of the present study indicate that the use of FR and SS exercises may not be indicated when aiming to restore neuromuscular performance following a single bout of HIFT. The use of the FR technique during the cooldown phase of a HIFT session may be helpful in improving an individual’s perception of recovery.

Introdução: A autoliberação miofascial (ALMF) tem sido utilizada com o intuito de atenuar os sintomas da dor muscular tardia, incrementar a amplitude de movimento articular e promover melhoras no desempenho da força muscular. Objetivo: Verificar o efeito da ALMF de músculos antagonistas no volume total de treino (VTT) e no índice de fadiga (IF) em homens treinados. Métodos: Participaram do estudo oito homens recreacionalmente treinados. Estudo do tipo crossover, com entrada aleatória nos dois protocolos experimentais: protocolo tradicional (GPT), com a execução da sessão de treino com intervalo entre as séries sem ALMF; protocolo ALMF (GALMF), com a execução da sessão de treino com intervalo entre as séries com ALMF de antagonistas. A análise estatística foi realizada com o teste T dependente. Resultados: Não foram observadas diferenças significativas entre os protocolos experimentais no VTT (p=0,975) e no IF (p=0,495). Conclusão: A utilização da ALMF de antagonistas, entre as séries de uma sessão de treinamento de força, parece não interferir no VTT e no IF de agonistas.

During the past decade, self-massage of the muscular fascia using a foam roller (FR) has become an increasingly common way of supplementing traditional methods of soft tissue treatment, while both professional and recreational athletes use it as a tool for warm-up and/or post-training relaxation. Considering the relevance of this topic among researchers, coaches, and physiotherapists, the aim of this this paper is to present a narrative review with the systematization of the latest research on the effects of foam rolling on motor skills. Publication search was conducted using the following databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. The following keywords were used in the search: foam rolling, self-myofascial release, fascia, and muscle soreness. The selection of papers was based on the following criteria: 1) publications written in English and published in the period 2019-2022, and 2) original scientific papers focused on examining the effects of soft tissue massage using FR on the range of motion (ROM), motor abilities (strength, power, speed, balance and others), acute muscle pain, and delayed muscle soreness. Recent research results confirm earlier findings that FR can have short-term, positive effects on flexibility and ROM, while findings regarding the effects on muscle strength, explosive power, and balance are equivocal. In addition, it has been noted that this type of treatment can delay the onset of fatigue, and alleviate the painful sensitivity of muscles after intensive work-out. Although foam rollers have been in use for a long time both in sports and in rehabilitation, due to the heterogeneity of methods applied in related studies, there is still no official recommendation on the optimal way of applying these tools (treatment duration, pressure and cadence, i.e. the frequency of vibration if such a roller is used)
