Influence of Foam Rolling on Recovery From Exercise-Induced Muscle Damage

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of foam rolling (FR) on recovery from exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD). Thirty-seven males performed 40 x 15 m sprints, inducing muscle damage. Immediately following sprinting and in the four days following, perceived muscle soreness, hip abduction range of motion (ROM), hamstring muscle length, vertical jump, and agility measures were recorded. Eighteen subjects (mean ± sd; age 22.4 ± 2.0 yrs; BMI 26.9 ± 4.2 kgm) foam rolled prior to testing each day (F… Show more

“…Furthermore, to minimize possible learning effects, twelve studies (Mikesky et al, 2002; MacDonald et al, 2013; Healey et al, 2014; Jones et al, 2015; Pearcey et al, 2015; Zorko et al, 2016; Cavanaugh et al, 2017; Cheatham et al, 2017; D'Amico and Gillis, 2017; Grabow et al, 2017; Casanova et al, 2018; Phillips et al, 2018) provided participants an organized familiarization with performance tests prior to the first testing session; in nine studies (MacDonald et al, 2013; Peacock et al, 2014; Jones et al, 2015; Pearcey et al, 2015; Cheatham et al, 2017; D'Amico and Gillis, 2017; Grabow et al, 2017; Casanova et al, 2018; Phillips et al, 2018), the participants were instructed to avoid strenuous exercise before and/or during the experimental period; in seven studies (MacDonald et al, 2013; Pearcey et al, 2015; Cavanaugh et al, 2017; D'Amico and Gillis, 2017; Grabow et al, 2017; Rey et al, 2017; Phillips et al, 2018), diet control was mentioned and/or the subjects were asked to maintain their normal dietary intake and to refrain from nutritional supplements and alcohol intake during the experimental period; and in six studies (Mikesky et al, 2002; Macdonald et al, 2014; Zorko et al, 2016; Cavanaugh et al, 2017; Cheatham et al, 2017; Rey et al, 2017), it was explicitly stated that each participant was always examined at approximately the same time of day.…”

“…The weighted-average overall performance change in response to post-rolling was +2.0% ( g = 0.19). The effects of post-rolling using a cylindrical foam roller (strength performance: +5.6%, g = 0.27; muscle pain: +6.0%, g = 0.55) were examined by four studies (Macdonald et al, 2014; Pearcey et al, 2015; Zorko et al, 2016; Fleckenstein et al, 2017), while the remaining three studies (D'Amico and Gillis, 2017; Rey et al, 2017; Casanova et al, 2018) used a type of roller massage bar/stick (strength performance: −0.1%, g = −0.01; muscle pain: +5.8%, g = 0.20).…”

“…Eighty percent reported using foam rollers, which has been previously shown to attenuate muscle soreness following a bout of physical activity [ 51 , 52 ]. However, there is currently little scientific evidence showing improved overall recovery benefits from its use [ 53 , 54 ]. Other cited methods included ice baths, protein shake intake, and hot baths.…”

“…Briefly, SAFR consists of using one’s body weight to position a specific muscle group onto a dense foam roller while moving back-and-forth to simulate soft tissue mobilization. With the undulating massage-like mechanical pressure placed upon the target muscle(s), the SAFR is an effective tool to promote soft tissue extensibility (Barnes, 1997; MacDonald et al, 2013), as well as to enhance recovery from high-intensity exercise (D’Amico & Gillis, 2017; Macdonald et al, 2014; Pearcey et al, 2015). More specifically, the SAFR can improve joint range of motion (ROM) (Beardsley & Skarabot, 2015; Cheatham et al, 2015; Freiwald et al, 2016; Healey et al, 2014; Junker & Stoggl, 2015; MacDonald et al, 2013; Madoni et al, 2018; Monteiro et al, 2017; Su et al, 2017) and increase pain pressure threshold (PPT) (Cheatham & Baker, 2017; Cheatham, Stull & Kolber, 2019; Pearcey et al, 2015) without necessarily impairing subsequent athletic performance (Behara & Jacobson, 2017; Healey et al, 2014; MacDonald et al, 2013).…”
