Abstract

Objective

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effect of foam rolling (FR) on exercise-induced muscle soreness.

Methods

PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, ProQuest, Cochrane Library and China National Knowledge databases were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the effect of FR intervening muscle soreness after exercise, from their inception to August 2022. The outcome indicators were visual analogue scale (VAS) and pressure-pain threshold (PPT).

Results

A total of 16 studies were included, involving 515 subjects. Meta-analysis results show that FR has a certain effect of elimination of muscle soreness after exercise. The standard mean deviation (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (95%CI) of VAS and PPT immediately after intervention, 24, 48 and 72 h: [SMD = −0.38, 95%CI (−0.61, −0.15), P = 0.001], [SMD = −0.53, 95%CI (−0.82, −0.25), P = 0.0003], [SMD = −0.77, 95%CI (−1.12, −0.42), P < 0.00001], [SMD = −0.67, 95%CI (−1.09, −0.24), P = 0.002], [SMD = 0.23, 95%CI (0.62, 0.16), P = 0.25], [SMD = 0.48, 95%CI (0.11, 1.07), P = 0.11], [SMD = 0.39, 95%CI (−0.24, 1.02), P = 0.22], [SMD = 0.37, 95%CI (0.01, 0.74), P = 0.04].

Conclusion

Using foam rolling after exercise has a certain preventive effect on muscle soreness. Our study found that the effect of intervention of FR immediately is tiny after exercise, while the effective of intervening is relative obvious above 24 h.

泡沫滚揉对运动后肌肉酸痛的预防作用：系统回顾与荟萃分析

方法检索了PubMed、EMBASE、Web of Science、ProQuest、Cochrane Library和中国知网数据库，以确定从开始到2022年8月有关泡沫滚动法干预运动后肌肉酸痛效果的随机对照试验（RCT）。结果共纳入16项研究，涉及515名受试者。元分析结果显示，FR 对消除运动后肌肉酸痛有一定效果。干预后24、48和72 h，VAS和PPT的标准平均偏差（SMD）和95%置信区间（95%CI）分别为[SMD=-0.38，95%CI（-0.61，-0.15），P=0.001]，[SMD=-0.53，95%CI（-0.82，-0.25），P=0.0003]，[SMD=-0.77，95%CI（-1.12，-0.42），P< 0.00001]，[SMD=-0.67，95%CI（-1.09，-0.24），P=0.002]，[SMD=0.23，95%CI（0.62，0.16），P = 0.25]，[SMD = 0.48，95%CI（0.11，1.07），P = 0.11]，[SMD = 0.39，95%CI（-0.24，1.02），P = 0.22]，[SMD = 0.37，95%CI（0.01，0.74），P = 0.04].结论运动后使用泡沫滚揉对肌肉酸痛有一定的预防作用。我们的研究发现，运动后立即进行泡沫滚揉干预的效果微乎其微，而在 24 小时以上进行干预的效果相对明显。注册PROSPERO（注册号：CRD42021250174）
