INFLUENCE OF FOAM ROLLING ON ELBOW PROPRIOCEPTION, STRENGTH, AND FUNCTIONAL MOTOR PERFORMANCE.

ABSTRACT: Foam rolling has recently been used frequently to increase flexibility. However, its effects on proprioception, strength and motor performance are not well known. In addition, very few studies have examined the effects of foam rolling in the upper extremity. To investigate the effects of foam rolling on elbow proprioception, strength, and functional motor performance in healthy individuals. Randomized controlled study. Exercise laboratory of X Department, X University. Sixty healthy participants (mean age=22.83±4.07 years). We randomly assigned participants into two groups: the foam rolling group (FRG) (4 weeks of foam rolling for the biceps brachii muscle) and control group (CG) (no foam rolling). We evaluated proprioception (joint position sense [JPS] and force matching), biceps brachii
