Foam Roller | Sport Massage Roller | EVA | Intermediate Level | Joinfit

Description The different types of material that foam rollers are made from can cause much confusion, so here is a quick insight into the differences. There are various types of foam roller materials on the market, and this item is made from EVA – Ethylene Vinyl Acetate: EVA is an excellent shock absorbent material, very light weight, long lasting and hard wearing. This type of material is more expensive than EPP and PE, but is ideal for gyms and clinics where there is continued and long term use. It has a very slight ‘sponge’ feel to it which is ideal for people who do not want a hard/firm foam roller. PE – Polyethylene: When purchasing a PE foam roller it is advisable to purchase a ‘one piece’ construction foam roller. This is due to the fact that it will retain its shape for a much longer period than a 2pc construction. It is easy to tell the difference by simply looking at the end of the foam roller. If it has an ‘inner circle’ – so it looks like a foam roller within an outer part – it is made from a 2pc construction. 2pc dual-layer construction foam rollers are softer in nature and are suitable for beginners who have never used foam rollers for sports massage before.  Some models of our foam rollers are made from a one piece molded construction and is of a harder consistency.   EPP – Expanded Polypropylene.  This is a new type of foam roller material on the market which looks like it is made from tightly molded polystyrene balls and has a smooth surface. They have a VERY FIRM consistency and have been designed for moderate to heavy use. They are ideal for people who require a very firm foam roller, and would be suitable in gyms and clinics.   Some exercise ideas of using this equipment: By courtesy of http://www.mosesinhomefitness.com.
