Context Foam-rolling exercises are frequently included in warmups due to their benefits for increasing range of motion (ROM). However, their effects on proprioception and vertical jump have not been analyzed and therefore remain unclear. Moreover, the effects of performing practical-duration foam-rolling exercises after typical warmup exercises such as jogging are unknown. Objective To analyze the effects of jogging and practical-duration foam-rolling exercises on the ROM, knee proprioception, and vertical jump of athletes. Design Randomized controlled study. Setting Sports laboratory and university track. Patients or Other Participants Thirty athletes were randomly classified into an experimental group (EG) or control group (CG). Intervention(s) The EG performed 8-minute jogging and foam-rolling exercises. The CG performed 8-minute jogging. Main Outcome Measure(s) Knee flexion, hip extension, active knee extension, ankle dorsiflexion (ADF), knee-joint position sense, and countermovement jump (CMJ) were evaluated before the intervention (baseline), after (post 0 min), and 10 minutes later. Results The EG exhibited higher values for ADF and CMJ at post 0 min (ADF: P &amp;lt; .001, d = 0.88; CMJ: P &amp;lt; .001, d = 0.52) and 10 minutes later (ADF: P = .014, d = 0.41; CMJ: P = .006, d = 0.22) compared with baseline. Although the CG also showed increased CMJ at post 0 min (P = .044, d = 0.21), the EG demonstrated a greater increase (P = .021, d = 0.97). No differences were found in the remaining ROM variables (knee flexion, hip extension, active knee extension: P values &amp;gt; .05). For knee-joint position sense, no differences were found (P &amp;gt; .05). Conclusions Combining jogging and practical-duration foam rolling may increase ADF and CMJ without affecting knee proprioception and hip or knee ROM. Jogging by itself may slightly increase ADF and CMJ, but the results were better and were maintained after 10 minutes when foam rolling was added.
