We aimed to examine the differences in knee strength, range of motion, and fatigue characteristics during high vs. low-speed isokinetic testing following FR practice on hamstring muscles and changes in the ROM on the knee extension and parameters during isokinetic fatigue testing. In total, 35 participants (20 men, 15 women) were recruited in this study. Of these 35 participants, 20 (12 men, 8 women) randomly underwent FR practice and the other 15 received no treatment (NFR). Pre-to-posttest body composition and high (180 o/sec) and low (60 o/sec) speed neuromuscular performance were performed with 24-h intervals. Follow-up screening showed significant decreases in knee extension and flexion parameters in the NFR group. Posttest percent knee extension and flexion torque deficit during fatigue testing protocol was significantly higher, while knee extension torque and ROM parameters were found significantly lower in the NFR group. FR group showed higher mean absolute torque and ROM values and lower percent knee extension and flexion torque deficit during fatigue resistance testing compared to baseline screenings. Positive significant correlations occurred between the ROM and knee extension (r=0.61) and flexion (r=0.52) peak torque and Hcon:Qcon (r=0.385) parameters during posttest screenings. The results of the current study suggest that the practice of high vs. low-speed isokinetic testing following foam rolling practice on hamstring muscles after strenuous exercise increased ROM without a decrease in peak and mean extension and flexion moments and helps to enhance an accelerated recovery.

Bu çalışmada hamstring kaslarına uygulanan FR uygulamasını takiben yüksek ve düşük hızdaki izokinetik testler sırasındaki diz kuvveti, eklem hareket açıklığı ve yorgunluk özelliklerindeki farklılıkları ve ROM'da meydana gelen değişimin yorgunluk testi esnasındaki diz ekstansiyon ve fleksiyon parametreleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemeyi amaçladık. Çalışmada toplam 35 katılımcı (20 erkek ve 15 kadın) yer aldı. Bu katılımcıdan 20'si (12 erkek, 8 kadın) FR grubuna rastgele atanırken diğer 15'i katılımcı uygulamaya tabii tutulmadı (NFR). Ön-test ve son-test vücut kompozisyon ölçümleri ve yüksek (180o/sn) ve düşük (60o/sn) hızdaki nöromüsküler performans ölçümleri 24 saatlik aralıklarla gerçekleştirildi. Son-test ölçümleri, NFR grubunda diz ekstansiyon ve fleksiyon parametrelerinde anlamlı düşüşler gösterdi. Yorgunluk testi protokolü sırasında diz ekstansiyon ve fleksiyon parametrelerinde görülen yüzde kuvvet kaybı NFR grubunda anlamlı olarak yüksek iken diz ekstansiyon ve ROM parametreleri anlamlı olarak daha düşük bulundu. FR grubu, ön test ölçümler ile karşılaştırıldığında son-test izokinetik yorgunluk testinde ortalama mutlak tork ve ROM değerlerinde istatistiksel olarak daha yüksek sonuçlar elde ederken DE ve DF parametrelerinde görülen yüzde tork kaybı istatistiksel olarak daha düşük bulundu. Son test ölçümlerindeki ROM değerleri ile diz ekstansiyon (r=0.61) ve fleksiyon (r=0.52) pik tork ve Hcon:Qcon (r=0.385) parametreleri arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı korelasyonlar oluştu. Mevcut çalışmanın sonuçları, hamstring kaslarına yorucu bir egzersizden sonra uygulanan FR uygulamasının, pik ve ortalama ekstansiyon ve fleksiyon torklarında bir azalmaya sebep olmadan ROM'u arttırdığını ve toparlanma sürecini arttırmaya yardımcı olduğunu göstermiştir.
