Effect of Myofascial Release on Muscle Mechanical Properties

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Sports Physical Therapy
• Interventions: Other: 30 rolls per minute(30RPM); Other: 15 rolls per minute(15RPM); Other: self-determined

• Registration Number: NCT04210947
• Lead Sponsor: Hacettepe University

Brief Summary

This study evaluates effect of self-myofascial release in different paces on muscle biomechanics. All participants will use foam roller in different paces once in a week with weeks apart.

Detailed Description

Foam-roller is a widely used self-myofascial release method in sports. Although, effects of foam-roller has been shown, there is no defined speed of usage. Using foam-roller in different paces could cause different changes.
