Summary

The hypothesis is that self-myofascial release (SMR) intervention on the cuff muscles would affect positively sprint performance and jump height, as well as, decrease Achilles tendon stiffness. The second hypothesis is that tissue flossing would be more effective than foam rolling.

The participants will be randomly assigned to foam rolling, tissue flossing, and control group (without any intervention). After the intervention, repeated measures will be performed (15m sprint, countermovement jump (CMJ) and Achilles tendon stiffness). This will aim to improve sprint time, jump height and decrease tendon stiffness.

Conditions

  • Ankle Injuries
  • Ankle Sprains

Interventions

OTHER

Foam rolling

Foam rolling performed on cuff muscles in 3 sets of 30 seconds per each muscle part in duration with a 15-second rest between sets. The first sets on the central part of the cuff muscles, the second on the medial and third on the lateral side of the cuff.

OTHER

Tissue flossing

A standard cuff muscle bandaging technique on cuff muscle. After the application, each participant is asked to perform a 2 min ankle-exercise program.
