The purpose of this study is to investigate the long-term effects of foam rolling on elbow proprioception, strength and functional motor performance with healthy participants . Study group will receive foam rolling exercise. Control group will receive no foam rolling exercise. Control group will be given a brochure including information about proprioception and foam rolling.
There is no information in literature about the effects of foam rolling on elbow proprioception, strength and functional motor performance. The purpose of this study is to investigate long-term effects of foam rolling with healthy participants. Study group will receive foam rolling exercise actively by themselves on elbow.
Foam rolling exercise will be applied 10 times each for 1 minute. These exercises will be performed as 2 sets. After each set will be a resting period for 30 seconds.A total of 12 sessions of exercise will be performed three times a week. Second evaluation will be performed after 4 weeks. Then the follow up evaluation (third evaluation) will be performed 4 weeks later. Control group will receive no foam rolling exercise. They will be handed a brochure about the proprioception and its role in injury prevention and foam rolling. Control group will be evaluated for the first time. Afterwards, second evaluation will be performed after 4 weeks and follow up after 4 more weeks.

Exclusion Criteria:
The participants in this group will receive foam rolling exercise.
Other: Foam Rolling Exercise
The participants in this group will receive no foam rolling. They will only be evaluated.
Foam rolling exercise will be performed actively. Participants will use a foam roller for exercise. They will position the foam roller on the chair. Afterwards, they will use their body weights to rub the elbow area (biceps brachii muscle) with this foam. There will be 2 sets and each set will be 1 minute. Single set contains 10 repetitions in 1 minute with 30 seconds resting period between sets.
Elbow Proprioception
Change of elbow joint position sense (with digital inclinometer in degree) and force match ( hand held dynamometer in kg )
Time frame: Baseline, after 4 weeks foam rolling exercise period and then follow up measurement 1 month
Biceps Brachii Strength
Change of biceps brachii strength ( hand held dynamometer in kg )
Time frame: Baseline, after 4 weeks foam rolling exercise period and then follow up measurement 1 month
Elbow Functional Motor Performance
Change of elbow functional motor performance (push up test, modified pull up test, closed kinetic chain upper extremity stability test )
Time frame: Baseline, after 4 weeks foam rolling exercise period and then follow up measurement 1 month
Ran from Sep 2017 to primary completion in Nov 2018, 14 months.
Of 32 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Somatosensory Disorders, half reached primary completion within 8 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 1 and three quarters within 23. This study's 14 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 33 studies reached it within 8 months; a quarter within 1 and three quarters within 23.
