Study: "The effects of tissue flossing on ankle range of motion and jump performance"

Not the biggest or best study (and it's only 1) but still some neat findings;

• Floss bands applied to the ankle for ∼2 mins increase dorsiflexion and plantarflexion ROM.
• Application of a floss band to the ankle may improve subsequent single-leg jump performance.
• Floss band use during a warm-up may reduce risk of injury and improve performance in athletes.

I'm doing a bachelor of health science (with the intention of going into physio or exercise physiology) as well as an advanced diploma in myotherapy (at a separate RTO)
States went ok given the circumstances (lost 5kg through the uni trimester when I didn't want to) and I managed both a total pr (600kg) as well as my best total on formula though at the start of the year I expected to go closer to 650
