摘要:Recently, self-myofascial release with foam roller has become an increasingly popular method and commonly used both before and after a workout. However, there are limited studies demonstrating the efficacy of foam rolling on anaerobic power. The aim of the current study was to determine the acute effects of pre-exercise foam roller intervention in addition to dynamic stretching on anaerobic power. Twenty-one healthy collegian students [13 men (age: 20.43±1.53 years, height: 176.84±8.23 cm, weight:: 74.89±15.72 kg) and 8 women (age: 21.32±1.62 years, height: 170.79±9.02 cm, weight: 67.98±13.62 kg)] were volunteered to participate in the current study. The participants performed a dynamic stretching or the foam rolling intervention in addition to dynamic stretching and then performed anaerobic power test (Wingate) with two days interval. The paired t-test was used to compare two protocols. Peak power (respectively, 889,50±232,80 vs 793,71±224,84 Watt, p<0.01, respectively ) and average power (608,11±132,46 vs 578,56±120,35 Watt, p<0.05, respectively) were significantly greater after foam rolling intervention in addition to dynamic stretching when compared with dynamic stretching in the male group. However, there were not significant differences in the female group. As a conclusion, it was seen that as a warm-up pre-exercises foam roller intervention in addition to dynamic stretching was more effective on anaerobic power than dynamic stretching without a foam roller in the male group.
