“…EMGs were recorded non-invasively by positioning electrodes directly on a shaved skin cleaned with alcohol ( Ginszt et al, 2017 ; Romero-Moraleda et al, 2017 ; Hodgson et al, 2018 ; Madoni et al, 2018 ; Beier et al, 2019 ; Capobianco et al, 2019 ; Kim et al, 2019 ; Mazzei, 2019 ; Ye et al, 2019 ; Table 7 ). Recently, the development of tensiomyography allowed rapid and reliable non-invasive investigations of the contractile properties of the skeletal muscle ( Martínez-Cabrera and Núñez-Sánchez, 2016 ; Murray et al, 2016 ; Schroeder et al, 2017 ; Macgregor et al, 2018 ; Table 7 ).…”

Selective Effects of Manual Massage and Foam Rolling on Perceived Recovery and Performance: Current Knowledge and Future Directions Toward Robotic Massages

et al. 2020

Manual massage and foam rolling are commonly used by athletes for warm-up and recovery, as well as by healthy individuals for well-being. Manual massage is an ancient practice requiring the intervention of an experienced physiotherapist, while foam rolling is a more recent self-administered technique. These two topics have been largely studied in isolation from each other. In the present review, we first provide a deep quantitative literature analysis to gather the beneficial effects of each technique through an integrative account, as well as their psychometric and neurophysiological evaluations. We then conceptually consider the motor control strategies induced by each type of massage. During manual massage, the person remains passive, lying on the massage table, and receives unanticipated manual pressure by the physiotherapist, hence resulting in a retroactive mode of action control with an ongoing central integration of proprioceptive feedback. In contrast, while performing foam rolling, the person directly exerts pressures through voluntary actions to manipulate the massaging tool, therefore through a predominant proactive mode of action control, where operations of forward and inverse modeling do not require sensory feedback. While these opposite modes of action do not seem to offer any compromise, we then discuss whether technological advances and collaborative robots might reconcile proactive and retroactive modes of action control during a massage, and offer new massage perspectives through a stochastic sensorimotor user experience. This transition faculty, from one mode of control to the other, might definitely represent an innovative conceptual approach in terms of human-machine interactions.

“…Some of the mechanoreceptors that may be accountable for a change in ROM are the Golgi tendon organ and the Ruffini organs, both of which influence the alpha motor neurone and carry the potential to decrease the tone of surrounding tissues (Schleip, 2003a(Schleip, , 2003b. Whilst it is unlikely that FR will provide sufficient force to induce significant changes in muscle tone (Schroeder, Renk, Braumann, & Hollander, 2017), were inhibitory effects to be elicited, these are likely to be acutely detrimental to performance. Given that significant effects on performance (plantar flexion torque and RSI) were not reported in the current study, it is perhaps reasonable to suggest that the FR intervention did not influence muscle tone.…”

Foam rolling and eccentric exercise interventions have been demonstrated to improve range of motion (ROM). However, these two modalities have not been directly compared. Twenty-three academy soccer players (age: 18 ± 1; height: 1.74 ± 0.08 m; body mass: 69.3 ± 7.5 kg) were randomly allocated to either a foam rolling (FR) or eccentric exercise intervention designed to improve dorsiflexion ROM. Participants performed the intervention daily for a duration of four weeks. Measurements of dorsiflexion ROM, isometric plantar flexion torque and drop jump reactive strength index were taken at baseline (pre-intervention) and at three subsequent time-points (30-min post, 24-hours post and 4-weeks post). A significant time x group interaction effect was observed for dorsiflexion (P = 0.036), but not for torque or reactive strength index. For dorsiflexion, there was a significant increase in both acute (30-min; P < 0.001) and chronic (4-week; P < 0.001) ROM for the eccentric group, whilst FR exhibited only an acute improvement (P < 0.001). Eccentric training would appear a more efficacious modality than foam rolling for improving dorsiflexion ROM in elite academy soccer players.

“…However, none of the authors specified which intervals were effective for manual self-release techniques [4,68]. The second reason behind these time values is certainly the fact that comparisons of the therapeutic effect of FR/SMR and stretching are often made [20,34,35,44,50,62,65,75]. Macdonald et al [37] suggest using an application time of between 60 and 90 seconds.…”

“…The first is made up of studies in which the authors used a single rolling set [8,10,16,19,22,24,29,33,38,45,53,55,57,59,68,69,73]. In the other studies, the values 2, 3, 4 and 5 appeared with similar frequency, with three rolling sets being the most commonly chosen option [3,5,15,23,26,35,39,46,57,62].…”

“…Despite the scientific theories in 30% of studies the authors who described this parameter in their research methodology used dynamic, one -to three-second movements [7,14,22,23,24,26,27,31,35,38,44,53,54,56,62]. This means that the pressure from the roller moved through the space from the beginning to the end of the treated area in this time.…”

Self-myofascial release (SMR) is a well-known and popular therapy. Its growing popularity is based on high effectiveness and availability. However, there is a lack of agreement about which parameters should be used to optimize the effects of the therapy. The purpose of this review is to critically select and assess current literature and ascertain the values of the following parameters: (1) therapy duration, (2) volume of applied pressure, (3) speed and (4) frequency of roll, (5) type of roller, (6) the number of treatment applications during one session, (7) the duration of intervals between applications that yield the best results in terms of soft tissue.The authors launched their research in May 2018. The search strategy included the electronic databases EBSCOhost and PubMed. The following inclusion criteria were assessed:- English language, high quality manuscripts (evaluation in PEDro scale)- at least one of the groups using the foam roller, tennis ball or the stick to fascial release- basic parameters of therapy described.A total 55 articles met the inclusion criteria. Patients can usually withstand a maximum tolerable pressure for 30-120 seconds, repeated 1-3 times, separated by 30 seconds of rest. The intensity of a single rolling movement should be moderate, and the movement should last about 3 seconds. Keeping the roller on particularly sensitive areas is recommended to release tension and enhance blood perfusion.Currently, there is no consensus on an optimal FR programme. However, there is a tendency to use SMR tools with a physiology-based method to enhance therapeutic efficiency.
