The effect of foam rollers of varying densities on range of motion recovery.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the effect of different density foam rollers on range of motion recovery.

Method: Ten active men completed two, 3-day trials in random order. During the experimental trials, all participants performed 2 min of foam rolling (FR) using a medium-density (medium trial) or hard-density (hard trial) foam roller on the right posterior thigh after completing the 90-min Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test (LIST).
