Is Foam Rolling good for energy & vitality?

The evidence is still emerging, so it's too early to say for certain. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews of foam rolling and self-myofascial release consistently find modest short-term improvements in range of motion and some recovery-related performance parameters, without the flexibility loss sometimes associated with static stretching before exercise. That's reflected in an evidence score of 39/100 for its role in energy & vitality, drawn from 7 studies (1 RCT), with an estimated impact on longevity rated limited (19/100).
