Reported Benefits
Effectiveness of a Foam Roller Warm-Up in Professional Basketball Players: A Randomized Controlled Trial.
J. Rodríguez-Fernández, A. Martín-Pérez, J. A. Rodríguez-Marroyo, J. García-López
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.
Effects of a 3-week foam rolling warm-up intervention on ankle dorsiflexion measurements and jumping performance in young rhythmic gymnasts.
Science for Sport Team
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.
A Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Foam Rolling on Performance and Recovery
K. Wilke, F. Neumann, U. Lüdtke, W. Schulte, R. Behrens
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.
