Experimental: Magnetic Fascial Ball
In the experimental group, a fascial ball made of cork containing 3 magnets of 0.15 tesla was used. The magnetic fascia ball diameter is 6 centimetres.
|
Other: Plantar fascia self massage with a magnetic fascia ball
Participants were asked to roll the magnetic fascia ball on the sole of each foot for 3 minutes each, from the metatarsal heads towards the heel, concentrating on the medial longitudinal arch. Participants were informed that more intense pressure would be more beneficial and were asked to apply pressure in a way that would not cause pain. |
Placebo Comparator: Non-Magnetic Fascial Ball
In the placebo group, a fascial ball made of cork without magnets. The non-magnetic fascia ball diameter is 6 centimetres.
|
Other: Plantar fascia self massage with a non-magnetic fascia ball
Participants were asked to roll the non-magnetic fascia ball on the sole of each foot for 3 minutes each, from the metatarsal heads towards the heel, concentrating on the medial longitudinal arch. Participants were informed that more intense pressure would be more beneficial and were asked to apply pressure in a way that would not cause pain. |
- Goniometric Measurement of Hamstring Flexibility [ Time Frame: Two times in one day (before intervention, immediately after intervention) ]Individuals are positioned supine with the hip of the limb to be measured at 90 degrees. In this position, active knee extension is requested and the acute angle between the long axis of the femur and the long axis of the fibula is measured. The DrGonyometer (iOS) smart phone application, for which a validity and reliability study was conducted, was used for the measurement.
- Sit and reach test [ Time Frame: Two times in one day (before intervention, immediately after intervention) ]Individuals are placed in a long sitting position with their feet resting on the test battery (Figure 2) and knees in full extension. They are asked to reach forward on the wooden block by placing their hands on top of each other. In this position, the distance between the fingers of the hand and the point where the foot rests is measured and the previous values are recorded as negative and the following values as positive.
