Summary

Fascial tissue ensures optimal function and mobility by providing gliding and force transfer during movement. However, fascial order can be disrupted in cases such as overuse and trauma. Therefore, treatment of fascial tissue is important. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of different myofascial release techniques on jumping performance, flexibility, balance, and proprioception in amateur football players.
