摘要

Foam rolling (FR) is suggested to be a valid alternative movement preparation strategy to stretching, with comparable range of motion (ROM) increases without the performance decrements associated with prolonged static stretching. Nevertheless, prior literature used small FR volumes, while secondly comparing results to a passive control. Passive control comparisons do not allow for a differentiation between FR and general movement effects. Consequently, this study randomly allocated 60 participants (20 per group) to a control (CG), FR or bodyweight (BW) group. The BW performed FR movements without using a FR to explore whether using the roll would provide superior effects compared to the SR condition on drop jump (DJ) performance. While hypothesizing beneficial FR effects on subsequent performance, the results showed 6 min of FR and SR resulted in a significant, large magnitude effect size (p < 0.001, ƞ2 = 0.26 − 0.45, d = 0.64 – 0.85), reduction in the subsequent DJ height and the reactive strength index while no effects were observed in the CG. Consequently, the results demonstrated that similar to the reported impairments related to prolonged static stretching, high dosage FR could harm subsequent jump performance parameters. Further research is necessary to discriminate acute FR effects from general exercise effects.
