Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The participants will be randomly assigned to foam rolling, tissue flossing, and control group (without any intervention). After the intervention, repeated measures will be performed (15m sprint, countermovement jump (CMJ) and Achilles tendon stiffness). This will aim to improve sprint time, jump height and decrease tendon stiffness.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of foam rolling and tissue flossing of the cuff on sprint performance, jump height and Achilles tendon stiffness at different time points. The second aim is to assess the effectiveness of those self-myofascial release methods (SMR).
This study will include healthy, recreational active subjects aged between 20 and 25 years old.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Foam rolling
Foam rolling of cuff muscles.
Foam rolling
Foam rolling performed on cuff muscles in 3 sets of 30 seconds per each muscle part in duration with a 15-second rest between sets. The first sets on the central part of the cuff muscles, the second on the medial and third on the lateral side of the cuff.
Tissue flossing
Tissue flossing of cuff muscles.
Tissue flossing
A standard cuff muscle bandaging technique on cuff muscle. After the application, each participant is asked to perform a 2 min ankle-exercise program.
Control group
Without any intervention.
No interventions assigned to this group
