  • Acute effects of instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization vs. foam rolling on knee and hip range of motion in soccer players
    Marković, Goran, 1975-
    The aim of the present investigation was to evaluate the acute effects of foam rolling (FR) and a new form of instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM), Fascial Abrasion Technique % (FAT) ... on hip and knee range of motion in soccer players. Twenty male soccer players randomly allocated into FR and FAT group (n = 10 each). Passive knee flexion and straight leg raise tests were measured before, immediately after and 24 h after intervention (FR or FAT). The FR group applied a 2-min quadriceps and hamstrings rolling, while FAT group received a 2-min application of FAT to the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles. Both groups significantly improved knee and hip ROM (p < 0.05), with higher gains observed in FAT group (10%19% vs. 5%9%). At 24 h post-treatment, only FAT group preserved most of the gains in ROM (7%13%; p < 0.05). These results support the use of the newly developed IASMT, Fascial Abrasion Technique % and FR for increasing lower extremity ROM of athletes.
