Objective<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> To investigate the effect of FR velocity on RoM and tissue stiffness. Design<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Randomized, controlled crossover trial. Setting<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> University. Participants<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> A total of 17 healthy, physically active adults (10 females; 25 [2]\u00a0y). Interventions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> (1)\u00a0Four 45-second high-velocity FR of the anterior thigh (FAST-FR), (2) four 45-second slow-velocity FR of the anterior thigh (SLOW-FR), and (3)\u00a0inactive control. Outcome Measures<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> Maximal knee-flexion RoM (ultrasonic movement analysis) and anterior thigh tissue stiffness (semielectronic tissue compliance meter) assessed pre, immediately post (T0), as well as 5 (T5) and 10 (T10) minutes postintervention. Statistical analysis included Friedman tests with adjusted post hoc comparisons (Wilcoxon tests). Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> According to omnibus testing, RoM remained unchanged in all 3 conditions and at all time points (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009>\u2009.05), while differences were found for tissue stiffness (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.05). Post hoc tests revealed significant decreases following FAST-FR (T5: \u221217%, T10: \u221224%; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.05) and SLOW-FR (T10: \u221215%; P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.05). The observed stiffness changes were significant in comparison with control (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009<\u2009.01), but no difference was found between the 2 FR conditions (P<\/jats:italic>\u2009>\u2009.05). Conclusions<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic> FR of the anterior thigh decreases myofascial stiffness regardless of velocity. The lack of effects on RoM contrasts findings of recent literature and warrants further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/jsr.2018-0041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,28]],"date-time":"2018-06-28T13:16:21Z","timestamp":1530191781000},"page":"711-715","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":52,"title":["Influence
