In order to investigate the effect of myofascial release technique on sportive performance, balance and injury risk in runners, 49 athletes will include in the study. The myofascial application group (n=26)will receive 12 sessions of 6-weekly lower extremity posterior muscle therapy. The control group (n=23) will continue the routine exercise program.
Running is a sport that involves repetitive movement and is particularly vulnerable to injury in the lower extremities. Myofascial release, on the other hand, is a manual method that is effective in increasing blood and oxygen permeability between tissues, renewing the tissue, protecting it from injury and increasing performance. The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of Myofascial application on sportive performance balance and injury risk in runners. The study will carry out on runners with a 3-month running history. Myofascial application group (n=26) and control group (n=23) will divide into two groups as randomized controlled. My Jump 2 App, Y balance test and Functional Movement Analysis (FMS) will use as assessment methods. The myofascial application group will receive 12 sessions of 6 weeks of therapy for the lower extremity posterior group muscles. The control group will continue the routine exercise program.

The effect of myofascial release technique on sportive performance
Vertical jump test (My jump 2 App.) is a valid, reliable, and useful tool for measuring vertical jump in recreationally active adults
Time frame: Baseline and 6th week
The effect of myofascial release technique on balance
Y balance test is a functional movement screening device commonly used to predict the risks of injury in athletes.
Time frame: Baseline and 6th week
The effect of myofascial release technique on injury risk
The Functional Movement Screen (FMS) was designed to identify functional movement deficits and asymmetries that may be predictive of general musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, with an ultimate goal of being able to modify the identified movement deficits through individualized exercise prescription.
Time frame: Baseline and 6th week
