In the last decade, self-myofascial release has become an increasingly common modality to supplement traditional methods of massage, so a masseuse is not necessary. However, there are limited clinical data demonstrating the efficacy or mechanism of this treatment on athletic performance. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the use of myofascial rollers before athletic tests can enhance performance. Twenty-six (13 men and 13 women) healthy college-aged individuals (21.56 ± 2.04 years, 23.97 ± 3.98 body mass index, 20.57 ± 12.21 percent body fat) were recruited. The study design was a randomized crossover design in which subject performed a series of planking exercises or foam rolling exercises and then performed a series of athletic performance tests (vertical jump height and power, isometric force, and agility). Fatigue, soreness, and exertion were also measured. A 2 × 2 (trial × gender) analysis of variance with repeated measures and appropriate post hoc was used to analyze the data. There were no significant differences between foam rolling and planking for all 4 of the athletic tests. However, there was a significant difference between genders on all the athletic tests (p ≤ 0.001). As expected, there were significant increases from pre to post exercise during both trials for fatigue, soreness, and exertion (p ≤ 0.01). Postexercise fatigue after foam rolling was significantly less than after the subjects performed planking (p ≤ 0.05). The reduced feeling of fatigue may allow participants to extend acute workout time and volume, which can lead to chronic performance enhancements. However, foam rolling had no effect on performance.
在过去十年中，自我肌筋膜放松已成为一种越来越普遍的补充传统按摩方法的方式，因此不一定需要按摩师。然而，仅有有限的临床数据证明这种治疗方法对运动表现的功效或作用机制。本研究的目的是确定在运动测试前使用肌筋膜滚轴是否能提高运动表现。招募了26名（13名男性和13名女性）健康的大学生（年龄21.56±2.04岁，体重指数23.97±3.98，体脂率20.57±12.21%）。研究设计为随机交叉设计，受试者先进行一系列平板支撑练习或泡沫轴放松练习，然后进行一系列运动表现测试（垂直跳高度和功率、等长肌力和敏捷性）。还测量了疲劳、酸痛和用力程度。采用2×2（试验×性别）重复测量方差分析及适当的事后检验来分析数据。在所有4项运动测试中，泡沫轴放松和平板支撑之间没有显著差异。然而，在所有运动测试中，性别之间存在显著差异（p≤0.001）。正如预期的那样，在两次试验中，运动前到运动后的疲劳、酸痛和用力程度均显著增加（p≤0.01）。泡沫轴放松后的运动后疲劳明显低于受试者进行平板支撑后的疲劳（p≤0.05）。疲劳感的减轻可能使参与者能够延长急性锻炼时间和运动量，这可能会带来长期的运动表现提升。然而，泡沫轴放松对运动表现没有影响。
