Tissue flossing is an increasingly popular method in physiotherapy and sports. There is a belief that tissue flossing can improve range of motion and muscle strength, shorten muscle recovery time, and reduce the risk of injury. The aim of this study was to analyse the effectiveness of tissue flossing for immediately improving muscle strength in recreational athletes when it is performed during warm-up. All participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (n = 36) or a control group (n = 34) using a random number generator. The experimental group (n = 36) performed an intervention comprising exercises with muscle tissue flossing and exercises without flossing. The control group (n = 30) performed the same protocol without a floss band. Muscle strength was measured for knee flexion end extension at three speeds (60, 120, and 180 °/s) 3 times. Analysed parameters include peak torque, work, and power related to body weight, flexors−extensors ratio, and time to peak torque. There were no significant changes in the muscle strength parameters from before to after the warm-up in either group (p > 0.05). Significantly lower values of peak torque, work, and power were observed in the experimental group during the warm-up with the floss band applied to muscles (p < 0.05). No clinically significant changes in time to peak torque or flexors−extensors ratio were observed. A single application of flossing does not improve muscle strength or power and can even reduce individuals’ maximum muscle strength capabilities.
组织松动术是物理治疗和体育领域中越来越流行的一种方法。人们认为组织松动术可以改善关节活动范围和肌肉力量，缩短肌肉恢复时间，并降低受伤风险。本研究的目的是分析在热身过程中进行组织松动术对提高业余运动员肌肉力量的即时效果。使用随机数生成器将所有参与者随机分为实验组（n = 36）或对照组（n = 34）。实验组（n = 36）进行了包括肌肉组织松动术练习和无松动术练习的干预。对照组（n = 30）在没有使用松动带的情况下执行相同的方案。在三种速度（60、120和180°/秒）下对膝关节屈伸的肌肉力量进行了3次测量。分析的参数包括峰值扭矩、功、与体重相关的功率、屈伸肌比率以及达到峰值扭矩的时间。两组在热身前后肌肉力量参数均无显著变化（p>0.05）。在对肌肉应用松动带进行热身时，实验组的峰值扭矩、功和功率值显著较低（p<0.05）。未观察到达到峰值扭矩的时间或屈伸肌比率有临床显著变化。单次应用松动术并不能提高肌肉力量或功率，甚至会降低个体的最大肌肉力量能力。
