HOW FOAM ROLLERS ARE DESIGNED

Book Title: How Foam Rollers Are Designed

Book Description:

Have you ever wondered how foam rollers—the go-to tools for muscle recovery and physical therapy—are actually designed? How Foam Rollers Are Designed takes you inside the world of sports science, biomechanics, and material engineering to reveal the process behind creating one of the most popular fitness recovery tools.

From concept to creation, this book breaks down the design elements that make foam rollers effective: the choice of materials (like EVA, EPP, and PE foam), the science of firmness and density, the ergonomic patterns that mimic massage techniques, and the testing procedures that ensure durability and performance. Whether you're a fitness enthusiast, physiotherapist, product designer, or simply curious, this in-depth yet easy-to-understand guide explores how engineering meets wellness.

By the end of this book, you'll gain a new appreciation for the seemingly simple foam roller and understand why not all rollers are created equal.
