Acute Effect of Foam Roller Applied at Different Frequency Levels on Flexibility in Amputee Players

OpenAlex İngilizce

More than one method has been developed to increase flexibility. One of these methods is foam rolling applications. Although they have different forms, vibrating foam rollers have different frequencies. This study aims to determine the effects of foam roller application applied at different frequency levels on flexibility. Twenty male amputee athletes participating in the study were randomly divided into two groups. Then the flexibility levels of the players were evaluated. After the measurement, vibrating foam rollers with a frequency of 32 Hz and 62 Hz were applied to the 1st and 2nd groups, respectively. Finally, the flexibility measurement was repeated. For the data analysis, 2x2 repeated measures ANOVA was used. As a result of the analyses performed to determine the changes in the range of motion, the main time effect was found to be significant (p
