Brief Summary

Purpose: To compare the effects between non-vibration foam rolling (NVFR) and vibration foam rolling (VFR) on visual analogic scale (VAS), pressure pain threshold (PPT), oxygen saturation (SmO2), counter-movement jump (CMJ), and hip and knee range of movement (ROM) after induction of muscle damage through eccentric acute-exercise using inertial flywheel. Methods: Thirty-eight healthy subjects (males n=32 females= 6, age 22.2±3.2 years) were randomly assigned in a counter-balanced fashion to either a VFR or NVFR protocol group. All subjects performed a 10x10 (sets x reps) eccentric squat protocol to induce muscle damage. The protocols were administered 48-h post-exercise, measuring VAS, PPT, SmO2, CMJ and ROM, before and immediately post-treatment. The technique of treatment was repeated on both legs for 1 min for a total of 5 sets, with a 30-s rest between sets.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• visual-analogue scale (VAS)

  used to measure DOMS and to estimate the intensity of its associated pain. In order to standardize the scaling instructions, the endpoints were described for the subject as 0 = 'no sensation' and 10 = 'the most worst intense sensation imaginable' (16,40). The VAS was measured in four different conditions: 1) passive, 2) during isometric quadriceps contraction, 3) performing a squat and 4) during stretch quadriceps.

• Pressure pain threshold

  measured using a digital pressure algometer (Microfet3 ®, Hoggan Health Industries). The digital dynamometer with a 1 cm probe was used to measure three points at the quadriceps: vastus lateralis (VL), rectus femoris (RF) and vastus medialis (VM). Subject was lying on the stretcher, the algometer was positioned perpendicularly to the skin at each point and gradual pressure was applied until the subject reported a change from the sensation of pressure to pain. In that point the pressure was stopped immediately and the value was recorded represented the pain threshold (16). The mean of the 3 measures was calculated. Algometry has been shown to be highly reliable (ICC = 0.91) (9).

  1 minute

• Muscle oxygenation

  was recorded at rest, during 10 squat repetitions (body weight load) and immediately after, using a commercially available portable non-invasive near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) device (Moxy, Fortiori Design LLC, Minnesota, USA).

Foam roller

EXPERIMENTAL

Non-Vibration Foam Rolling (NVFR) Group: subjects performed the FR protocol using a custom-made foam roller composed of a polystyrene foam cylinder (15-cm diameter × 35-cm long).

Device: Foam roller
