Abstract in brief

  • The review suggests that foam rolling can effectively increase range of motion (ROM), with optimal prescriptions involving 1 to 3 sets of 2-4 second repetitions over the length of the targeted body part, totaling about 30-120 seconds per set.
  • Small decreases in performance measures such as strength and jump height were observed, but these effects were generally trivial to small, and there is not enough evidence to conclude significant effects on fatigue or sprinting.
  • Overall, foam rolling with proper prescription can enhance flexibility with minimal impact on immediate performance, making it a useful tool for improving ROM without notable performance drawbacks.
