BlackRoll can be described as a simple individual solution to the complex tasks of preventing muscle injuries after considerable physical exertion. They meet several requirements at once: unusually light, compact (depending on the size, of course, but still), mobile. And, of course, they do not need to be connected to anything, synchronized, configured.
In some medical studies, the use of such rolls has been called Self-myofascial release (SMR), or in other words, self-prevention of skeletal muscle dysfunction and the surrounding tissue - fascia .

Fascia, in turn, being a sheath of muscles, ensures their gliding, participates in the position of internal organs, "broadcasts" movement from muscles to bones and performs some other important functions!
Playing a key role in the biomechanics of movement, the fascia requires some attention. In particular, the dehydration of this will not allow the muscles to freely slide inside the fascial sacs, which, under loads, will provoke stretching and will cause pain! Compression of the muscles through the use of massage rollers, according to this study , stimulate the activity of contractile cells and affect the hydration of tissues.
Scientists also provide indirect evidence that formally a massage roll may be involved in maintaining the cellular framework microarchitecture and affect the stiffness of muscle fibers and tissues.

However, most of the guidelines for the use of massage rolls are based on much more general concepts: relaxation, flexibility, stress relief, muscle recovery, which, of course, attracts professional athletes.

Be that as it may, it is worth noting one thing: massage rolls are recognized as an effective way of self-prevention, comparable to the intervention of a sports chiropractor. In a 2015 study, it is argued that rolls are effective for improving the flexibility of the hamstring during a four-week course of therapy under control.
