ABSTRACT
CONTEXT Kinesio taping (KT) is a new taping technique increasingly used in sports medicine to improve muscle performance; however, its real effect is not entirely known. OBJECTIVE:
To assess the immediate effects of KT on muscle performance in young healthy elite soccer players.DESIGN:
Crossover study.SETTING:
University laboratory.PARTICIPANTS:
Eighteen young elite soccer players voluntarily participated in the study (mean ± SEM age 18.20 ± 2.45 y, height 1.76 ± 3.56 m, body mass 65.25 ± 3.76 kg, body-mass index 20.12 ± 1.25 kg/m2).INTERVENTIONS:
Each subject completed 2 different protocols, with and without KT. Interventions were performed in a random order, with a washout period between conditions of 1 wk. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Outcome measures included tensiomyographic response in the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis, power output with 30 and 50 kg, countermovement jump, and 10-m sprint.RESULTS:
Data showed no significant differences for any of the outcomes analyzed between interventions.CONCLUSIONS:
KT does not produce a short-term improvement in muscle performance in young elite soccer players.
