ACE-SUPPORTED RESEARCH: Testing the Effectiveness of the ACE Mover Method™

Foam rollers are often used during the warm-up of an exercise session or as a means of recovery between workouts, but how effective are they for improving performance? In an effort to bring some clarity to the topic, researchers evaluated the training effects of foam rolling on lower-body flexibility and mobility and performance. Also included is a video demonstrating foam-rolling exercises that you can share with your clients.

In this latest ACE-sponsored study, researchers quantified the acute physiological responses to exercise with the Core-Tex and measured the effectiveness of a six-week chronic exercise training program using the Core-Tex for improving cardiorespiratory, muscular, flexibility and neuromotor fitness.
