Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Materials and Methods: Thirty-six football players were included in the study. As this was a serial group design the same football players were included in both the study group and the control group. There was a 72-hour break between the interventions for the study group and the control group. The study began with the study group. The study group received Flossband application while the control group received foam roller bandage application. The same exercises were conducted alongside both interventions. Measurements were taken before and after the interventions and exercises. Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion was evaluated using the weight-bearing lunge test, static balance using a smartphone application, dynamic balance using the Y-balance test, and proprioception using the joint position sense test. Additionally, the hop test was used to assess jumping performance.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Flossband Group
Our study began by applying flossband to the football players. The players were first assessed without the flossband, and then reassessed with the flossband to measure its effectiveness. This group was referred to as the 'Study Group.'
Flossband
The use of Flossband (Sanctband COMPRE Floss 5.1 cm × 3.5 m; Sanct Japan Co., Ltd.), made of natural rubber, was applied starting from 5 cm below the ankle joint line with a 50% stretch. The band tension was increased to 70-75% around 2 cm above the attachment point of the Achilles tendon.
Controlled Group
After the specified rest period, the football players were evaluated prior to the foam roller application. Seventy-two hours later, they were reassessed with the foam roller to measure the effectiveness of the application. This group was referred to as the 'Control Group.
Controlled Group
Cramer Tape Underwrap (7cm X 27m) foam bandage was applied starting 5 cm below the ankle joint line without tension. The control group received the same exercise protocol as the study group.
