Summary

In our study, we aimed to compare the effects of both Graston technique and static stretching on ankle range of motion and vertical jump performance in the light of the literature. Our study will guide clinicians about the uncertainty in the application of Graston technique and static stretching to the gastrocnemius, soleus muscles and Achilles tendon and examine the applicability of Graston in athletes. It is also aimed to investigate the relationship between ankle range of motion and vertical jump performance.

Physiotherapy

This group will be applied to the soleus, gastrocnemius muscle and Achilles tendon with Graston, an instrumental myofascial mobilization technique, until they feel warmth in the skin and tonus relaxation in the target muscles. The control group will be subjected to 3 repetitions of passive stretching for 30 seconds for the same structures.
