Abstract

Self-myofascial release (SMR) is a therapy introduced by John F. Bames which means
the manual technique of massaging and stretching the targeted muscle(s) to eliminate the
restrictive barriers between layers of fascia tissue. SMR can be used as a tool for
conditioning programs to enhance skeletal muscle functions. The purpose of this study is
to investigate the effect of SMR on 40 m sprint time performance among the football
players of the Klang Valley League. A total of 44 football players of the Klang Valley
League were recruited to become the subjects for this study and divided into two
different groups; control (CO) and experimental (EO). They performed a general warm
up of lkm jogging at self-pace and continued with the 40 m sprint pre-test. There was a
4 minutes rest before the CO started the post-test. After the pre-test, EO applied the
SMR which focus on major muscles group of the leg; gastrocnemius, hamstring,
quadriceps and gluteus, at 6 strokes per minute for 30 seconds. After the intervention,
they performed the 40 m sprint post-test. The subjects were measured for speed twice
following two (2) build-up practice runs at their submaximal effort. The faster of the two
trials indicated speed to the nearest .1 second. The data obtained from this study were all
tabulated and analyzed using the IBM SPSS Statistics Version 20. Paired Sample T Test
was utilized to investigate the differences in the pre-test and post-test of both
control group and experimental group. The result from this study indicated that the
control group showed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the pre-test and the
post-test. The experimental group showed no significant difference (p > 0.05). It can be
concluded that the control group showed a significant difference as compared to the
experimental group. The application of SMR can influence the performance in the 40 m
sprint.
