About this trial
Fascial tissue ensures optimal function and mobility by providing gliding and force transfer during movement. However, fascial order can be disrupted in cases such as overuse and trauma. Therefore, treatment of fascial tissue is important. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of different myofascial release techniques on jumping performance, flexibility, balance, and proprioception in amateur football players.

Treatments tested in this trial
Fascial release with instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization
Other interventionThe fascial release group will be treated with the Graston device to the superficial and deep fascia of the hamstrings and the gastro-soleus muscle complex in both extremities for a total of 16 minutes.
Fascial release with foam roller
Other interventionFascial release with a foam roller will be applied to the fascia of the hamstring and gastro-soleus muscle complex with a self-foam roller for a total of 16 minutes.
