Table 2.
Changes (mean±SD) in pain pressure threshold (PPT), muscle soreness at maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC-ISO), maximal voluntary concentric contraction (MVC-CON), stretching, and palpation before maximal eccentric contraction task (baseline), preand post-vibration foam rolling for the non-damaged side. The one-way repeated analysis of variance (ANOVA) results (p, and F-values and partial η2 (ηp 2)) are shown in the bottom column.
