滾筒按摩介入熱身活動對提升跳躍及肌力之探討

The foam rolling intervention in warm-up activities to improve jump and strength performance

本研究主要目的為針對滾筒按摩進行熱身活動對隨後跳躍及肌力表現影響的相關研究進行探討，並基於這些研究探討實際應用層面之適用性。本研究透過PubMed外文資料庫蒐集到十五篇研究。目前相關文獻並沒有辦法確定滾筒按摩是否可以立即地提升跳躍和肌力表現，這可能與受試者的背景、研究設計、按摩肌群、按摩時間、按摩力道、滾筒來回滾動頻率、恢復時間、檢測表現的方式以及是否搭配其它運動等因素有關。建議未來相關研究學者能夠針對以上影響因素，進行更廣泛的研究。

The purpose of this review was to discuss the immediate effect of foam rolling on jump and strength performance and to explore its practical feasibility. Fifteen articles were retrieved from the PubMed database. This review did not determine whether foam rolling improves subsequent jump and strength performance. This review indicates that some factors may have contributed to the inconsistent findings, including the backgrounds of the subjects, experimental design, muscle receiving the massage, duration of the massage, massage force, repetition frequency, recovery time, method used to examine the performance, and exercise that was combined with foam rolling. This review suggests that further research is needed to identify the aforementioned factors involved in foam rolling research affect performance.
