Summary

Fascia is a connective tissue that contains a large amount of water and contains blood vessels, nerves that surround the muscles and connect the various structures of the body. In the event of an injury, the fascia has to cause some limitations to reduce muscle spasms, neuromuscular changes and pain. In order to achieve this, it can adhere to muscles and other body structures. In the physically active population, these facial adhesions may cause a decrease in performance over time, while the body heals itself after mechanical stresses and injuries. It is remarkable that various facial techniques are tried and compared with each other in order to increase performance. The most noteworthy of these techniques is foam roller (FR) and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM). As well as myofascial techniques, a preferred and highly studied method for performance improvement, especially before competitions, is dynamic stretching. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of these three techniques on vertical jump performance and their advantages over each other.

Interventions

DEVICE

Graston Technique

FR is a dense foam cylinder that the person rolls before using the body weight to warm up and increase their ROM. There are different types that vary in size, shape and density.

OTHER

Dynamic stretch exercise

Dynamic stretch includes controlled movements in the active ROM for a joint. This type of exercise is actually the basis of sports movements used in training or competition.
