Takeaways

Foam rolling techniques should consider the size and shape of the implement used, as well as the depth and focal nature of the pressure applied.

The direction of foam rolling should align with the intended energy transfer, whether it is absorbing energy from the ground or delivering it to the ground.

The speed of foam rolling affects the depth and magnitude of the effect, with slower rolls promoting greater shape change and transfer potential of energy.

Sequencing foam rolling exercises should be based on the influence of muscles on bony bends, with different orders for wide and narrow archetypes.
