Foam rolling may keep young soccer stars Injury-Free
NCT ID NCT06895720
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether using a foam roller before training can help prevent injuries and improve performance in young soccer players aged 14 to 18. About 65 male athletes will be split into two groups: one that does foam rolling exercises and one that does not. Researchers will measure flexibility, balance, jumping ability, and muscle properties over 16 weeks to see if the foam rolling group has fewer injuries and better physical function.
