Abstract in brief

This study explores how self-myofascial release (SMR) with a foam roller affects arterial health, finding that SMR reduces arterial stiffness and boosts vascular endothelial function in healthy young adults.
The researchers measured changes in blood flow and vessel flexibility before and after SMR, noting significant improvements such as decreased brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and increased plasma nitric oxide levels following foam roller use.
The findings suggest that foam roller SMR could be beneficial not only for muscles and soft tissues but also for cardiovascular health by enhancing arterial flexibility and function.]
