Summary

Basketball is an aerobic-based anaerobic sport that calls for both high-intensity movements like jumping (for rebounds, blocks, and shots), spins, dribbling, sprinting, and screening and low-intensity movements like walking, stopping, and running.This sport requires sudden and fast movements where jumping performance is often a decisive factor for sporting success and Whether crouching in a defensive situation or throwing a long pass, a player needs to have a sufficient level of flexibility for adequate efficiency. Fascia connects the structures of the body with muscles, nerves and blood vessels. Limitations may occur due to injury. These limitations can reduce flexibility, strength, endurance and coordination.Therefore, this study aims to compare the acute effects of manual and self-myofascial release on flexibility and jump performance in basketball players. The secondary aim was to examine the acute improvements in flexibility and jump performance after myofascial therapy.
