Static stretching and foam rolling can increase the range of motion (ROM) of a joint acutely as well as chronically. Although studies have reported ROM increases of a non-stretched heterologous muscle (non-local) following an acute static stretching or foam rolling session, these effects have not been studied for long-term training interventions. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a comprehensive 7-week static stretching and foam rolling training program of the foot sole on shoulder extension ROM. A total of 33 healthy, physically active participants (20 male) were assigned to either the intervention ( = 19) or control ( = 14) group. The intervention group performed a 7-week combined static stretching and foam rolling intervention comprising three sessions a week, including three exercises of the foot sole for 5 min each. Before and after the intervention period, the shoulder extension ROM was tested with three-dimensional (3D) motion caption. The level of significance for all statistical analyses was set to ≤ 0.05. There was no significant time ( = 0.70, F1, 31 = 0.157; η2 = 0.005) or time×group effect ( = 0.38, F1, 31 = 0.785; = 0.025) in shoulder extension ROM, indicating no ROM changes in the intervention or the control group. Although previous studies on the acute effects of stretching and foam rolling reported non-local increases in ROM in heterologous muscles, this study could show that such effects do not occur after chronic SS and foam rolling training for 7 weeks. Consequently, if the goal is to chronically increase the ROM of a specific joint, it is recommended to directly treat the muscles of interest.
静态拉伸和泡沫轴放松可以在急性和慢性情况下增加关节的活动范围（ROM）。尽管有研究报告称，在进行急性静态拉伸或泡沫轴放松训练后，未拉伸的异源肌肉（非局部）的ROM会增加，但这些效果尚未在长期训练干预中得到研究。因此，本研究的目的是调查为期7周的足底综合静态拉伸和泡沫轴放松训练计划对肩部伸展ROM的影响。共有33名健康、有体育活动习惯的参与者（20名男性）被分为干预组（n = 19）或对照组（n = 14）。干预组进行了为期7周的静态拉伸和泡沫轴放松联合干预，每周三次，包括对足底进行三项练习，每项练习5分钟。在干预期前后，使用三维（3D）运动捕捉技术测试肩部伸展ROM。所有统计分析的显著性水平设定为≤0.05。肩部伸展ROM没有显著的时间效应（p = 0.70，F1, 31 = 0.157；η2 = 0.005）或时间×组效应（p = 0.38，F1, 31 = 0.785；ηp² = 0.025），表明干预组或对照组的ROM没有变化。尽管先前关于拉伸和泡沫轴放松急性效应的研究报告了异源肌肉中ROM的非局部增加，但本研究表明，在进行7周的慢性静态拉伸和泡沫轴放松训练后，这种效应不会出现。因此，如果目标是长期增加特定关节的ROM，建议直接对相关肌肉进行治疗。
