Comparison of Acute Effects of Foam Roller Combined with Static-Dynamic Stretching on Combat Athletes' Performances: Experimental Research

Objective:The purpose of this study is to examine the acute effects combine foam roller (FR) and routine warm-up protocols on some performance parameters in combat athletes. Material Methods: A total 16 fighters (boxing, kickboxing, muaythai) athletes, 7 female 9 male, were included study. The was carried out with 2 measurements an interval 1 week. On first day, athletes tested for flexibility, sprint, agility, jumping, respectively, after performing static-dynamic stretching 10 minutes low-paced jogging. second exercises, Statistical analysis data obtained made using IBM SPSS 23 program. Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test used evaluate difference between different protocols. Significance level accepted as p<0.05. Results:Significant observed 20 m sprint static (SS)+dynamic (DS) FR combined dynamic favor SS+DS (p<0,05). When vertical jump height examined, while a significant found (cm) SS+DS. İt seen that there SS+DS+FR numbers (p<0.05). Conclusion: do not have positive effect but can improve athletes' anaerobic performances_
