Natal, RN, 2018.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/48017Many protocols are used as a form of warm-up, but few studies have shown the acute efficiency of Self-Myofascial Release (SMF) in jumping performance. Thus, the objective of this study was to verify the acute effects of SMF in the athletes of the men's volleyball selection of UFRN. Ten volleyball students (22.7 ± 2.7 years, 88.6 ± 28.7 kg, 169.6 ± 39.2 cm) underwent an SMF protocol with the Foam Roller (FR): 60 seconds of SMF in the Sural Triceps, Hamstring and Quadriceps Femoral. After that, the athletes made two laps on the court trotting and performed the jumps. The explosive force was evaluated by means of vertical jumps in the contact carpet of the CEFISE ® and the data stored in the Jump System Pro software. The values of the SMF jumps (height: 43.5 ± 5.75, power: 4118 ± 614, 3, potency / kg: 52.9 ± 4.40) did not differ much from the control jumps (height: 42.2 ± 5.97, power: 4036.3 ± 653.2, power/kg: 52.7 ± 5 , 07). The results of this study showed that SMF did not promote improvement in vertical jump performance in volleyball athletes.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Auto Liberação MiofascialPotênciaSalto VerticalSelf-myofascial releasePowerVertical jumpbachelorThesisCiências da SaúdeEducação Física
