Foam Rolling Acute Effects on Myofascial Tissue Stiffness and Muscle Strength: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: Glänzel, MH, Rodrigues, DR, Petter, GN, Pozzobon, D, Vaz, MA, and Geremia, JM. Foam rolling acute effects on myofascial tissue stiffness and muscle strength: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Strength Cond Res 37(4): 951–968, 2023—Foam rolling (FR) is widely used in rehabilitation and physical training. However, the effects of FR on myofascial tissue stiffness and muscle strength remain unclear. This study aimed to perform a systematic review with meta-analysis of trials that tested the FR acute effects… Show more

“…In the pooled analysis of muscle strength, overall and subgroup analyses were performed considering the different muscle groups: isometric muscle strength (knee extensors and flexors and ankle plantar flexors) and concentric torque (knee extensors and flexors). As most studies that evaluated muscle strength parameters applied FR as the SM technique, some analyses were similar to those of our previous study, in which we exclusively analyzed the FR acute effects on muscle strength parameters (29). Because of the heterogeneity of evaluation protocols between the studies (e.g., application of different intervention protocols, including volume, pressure, and rolling or gliding speed; assessment of different muscle groups; evaluation of MEA during different muscle contraction intensities; lack of standardization of electromyographic data [i.e., normalized and nonnormalized data]), the effect of selfmassage on MEA has not been estimated using meta-analysis.…”
