Summary

Tissue flossing involves wrapping a thick rubber band around a joint or muscle, which can partially occlude blood flow. In practice, it is often used while concomitantly performing a range of motion exercises (ROM) for 1 to 3 minutes in duration. The mechanisms involved in tissue flossing with a floss band may be similar to those involved in ischemic preconditioning. Previous results would support the use of tissue flossing on ROM, while there are no clear conclusions on post-activation effects on sports-related performance and muscle contractile properties. This may be attributed to the different methodologies used in the studies. Therefore, the time course associated with tissue flossing benefits remains to be investigated.

Conditions

  • Placebo - Control

Interventions

OTHER

Flossing experimental group

Flossing of the tight muscles with medium wrapping pressure, which is individualized in based on the tight circumference of the participant.

OTHER

Low wrapping pressure

Control group where flossing wrapping pressure is between 20 and 30 mmHg
