We chose a FR similar to that of Macdonald et al. (2014) inorder to apply greater pressure on the soft body tissues dueto the high-density FR tube (Curran et al., 2008; Macdonaldet al., 2013). Immediately after the Tabata squats, and in linewith Macdonald et al.’s (2014) FR protocol, each subjectperformed three sets of SMR using a 16 cm-diameter foamroller, with a picot and thickness of 1 cm. They massaged thetensor fascia latae (lateral side of the leg) from the hip to theknee and the anterior surface of the leg (sartorius and rectusfemoris) from the hip to the knee at a velocity of 2 s andan intensity of 7/10 on the visual analogical scale (VAS)(Halperin et al., 2014), in order to ensure that the subjectsrespected the FR intensity requirement (Figure 2).
