Popis: Background. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of self myofascial release (SMR) using foam rolling on elasticity of (SMR) using rolling superficial back line (SBL) in young physically active adults. Material and methods. The sample included 40 students (man age 4.91 years). Tissue flexibility was assessed before and after rolling using one of EUROFIT motor ability tests of flexibility. The subjects performed a maximal forward flexion. 9-minute long rolling was performed in the following areas of the body: rear surface of the feet, rear surface of the shanks. rear surface of the thighs. paraspinal muscles of the sacrolumbar spine. The values corresponding to flexion depth prior to and following rolling were compared. Student’s t-test was applied for statistical analysis and significance level was set at p
