- Recent papers suggest tissue flossing (TF) may improve range of motion (ROM) and neuromuscular performance, but effects on muscle contractile properties remain unclear.
- This study aimed to examine the acute effects of TF on ankle ROM and muscle gastrocnemius medialis characteristics using tensiomyography in a group of 30 recreationally active participants.
- While no significant differences were found between the TF and control conditions, there were medium to large effect sizes favoring TF for increasing ROM without altering muscle stiffness.
