Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to compare the effects of 6-week vibration and non-vibration foam rolling on neuromuscular control and performance in male soccer players.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The typical warm-up protocol consists of different stretching exercises, sub-maximal aerobic activities, and sports-related activities. However, in recent years, warm-up protocols involving different methods have been applied and recommended.

Foam rolling (FR) via foam roller, one of these methods, has become a common and popular method in many sports settings.

While the popularity and use of the foam rolling method is gradually increasing, in recent years this method has begun to be applied as vibration and included in warming protocols.

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of 6-week vibration and non-vibration foam rolling on neuromuscular control and performance in male soccer players.

Within the scope of initial assessments; knee flexor and extensor muscle strength and Hamstring/Quadriceps muscle strength ratio with the Lafayette manual muscle testing device, flexibility with the sit-and-reach test, dynamic balance with the Y balance test, reaction time with the "Test You Brain Pro System", lower extremity anaerobic power with the Wingate anaerobic power test, agility with the t-test and sprint with the 20-m sprint test will be evaluated.

After the initial assessment, vibration and non-vibration foam rolling methods will be applied to the gluteal, tensor fascia latae, hamstring, quadriceps femoris and gastrocnemius muscles of both lower extremities of the participants in the intervention groups, in addition to the routine warm-up protocol, 3 days a week for a total of 15 minutes a day for 6 weeks. No intervention will be applied to the participants in the control group. This group will continue the routine warm-up protocol.

After the methods applied to the intervention groups for 6 weeks, the initial assessments applied to all participants will be repeated.
