Background: With the increased popularity of foam rolling as a recovery tool, it is important to explore possible mechanisms of action toward mitigating soreness and restoring athletic performance.
Purpose: The purpose of the present experiment was to assess the influence of foam rolling on gross measures of physical performance and indices of autonomic function following exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD).
Method: In a between-group design, 40 participants performed a session of 40x15 meter sprints, inducing muscle damage.
