The Immediate Effect of 90 sec. Duration Plantar Myofascial Release on Static and Dynamic Balance and Injury Risk in Female Volleyball Players

Background. Self-administered plantar myofascial release with a tennis ball is widely used technique to increase flexibility and range of motion, but it unclear how effective this on static dynamic balance injury risk in volleyball players.
 The aim the study determine immediate effect short-term (90 s duration) females playing volleyball.
 Methods. involved 26 female players who were randomly assigned one two groups. Subjects control group (n=13) received no intervention retested for 180 s. since initial testing. participants self-administered 90 duration leg other (all together s). A modified star excursion (Y test) test was assess balance. Static assessed by Flamingo test.
 Results. Myofascial improved (p<0.05) result only direction – anterior, standing both left right leg, posterolateral, posteromedial (p<0.05). No differences found between subjects groups during retest did not differ (p>0.05) from assessment. combined score that had rest break instead intervention. significant results either or within groups.
