Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study will analyze the effects of foam rolling and heat therapy effect force production in the legs during a squat jump.

Detailed Description

The objective of the research is to study the effects of how foam rolling and heat therapy impact force production in the rectus femoris, utilizing a counter movement jump and an isometric knee extension to test force production.
