(1) MacDonald et al [84] present the first peer-reviewed data examining the impact of self-myofascial release via foam roller on muscle performance and joint mobility. . . . On the whole, the paper is a weak data point in favor of the practice." (p. 30)
(2) "Cheng-Yu et al [85] report that icing delays recovery from eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage, with a study that is a perfect example of everything that is wrong with the sports science and exercise physiology literature. . . . This is a poorly designed study with conclusions that cannot possibly be supported by its data. It’s almost certain to be quoted widely." (p. 30)
