Brief Summary

The objective of the project is to investigate the influence of application of Kinesio Taping in young athletes in football, muscle strength and muscle activation in the performance of the Single Leg Hop Test tests and Triple Hop Test methods: will be conducted a randomized, placebo-controlled and double-blind. 24 individuals will be athletes who fit the criteria for inclusion will be randomized into 2 groups (Placebo, Kinesio Taping Taping) and will be submitted to the tests of Single Leg Hop Test, Triple Hop Test, the isokinetic evaluation and electromyographic of Rectus Femoris dominant lower limb. Then the intervention shall be carried out with application of Kinesio Taping for activation of rectus femoris muscle group and placebo intervention Kinesio Taping with application of Kinesio Taping of transverse way the rectus femoris without tension in the Placebo group Taping. The volunteers will be re-evaluated 30 minutes after application of the technique and 12:0 am after with the same tests for that later can be compared the results obtained in each group. Analysis: will be achieved statistical tests and adopted a significance level of 5 percent

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Hop Test

  The volunteer must position themselves in foot with unipodal support in the dominant lower limb behind a line that will be demarcated on the ground and jump as far as possible, without support in the contralateral limb or imbalance. The distance will be measured with a tape measure, from the starting point (line demarcated on the ground) until the most proximal point of the heel of the foot fell on the floor.

  1 year

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Surface electromyography

  1 year

Other Outcomes (1)

• Isokinetic evaluation of knee Extensors

  1 year

Study Arms (2)

Grupo A (Kinesio Taping)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Will be held the application of Kinesio Taping (Tex Gold) in the region of the rectus femoris dominant lower limb by a physical therapist trained in the technique (KT1 KT2 and) and with experience in this type of application to be designed without knowing in which group fits this patient. In the sequence, the athlete will be oriented to remain at rest for 30 min to get a better grip on the tape and one of the first tests and rest, only after this period will conduct a new evaluation of jump tests (single leg Hop test and Triple Hop Test) and, finally, a new test of strength in the isokinetic dinamomêtro in conjunction with the electromyographic assessment.

Procedure: Kinesio Taping

Placebo Taping

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The volunteer will receive a Placebo application tape, being in this case the physical therapist will apply a strip of Kinesio Taping perpendicular to the muscle fibers of the rectus femoris of the dominant member of the individual.

Device: Kinesio Taping placebo

Interventions

Kinesio Taping PROCEDURE

Application of Kinesio (Kinesio Tex Gold ®) of black color. The tape will be applied from proximal to distal, leaving the anterosuperior iliac spine Bottom, passing over the Rectus Femoris and ending in the region of the anterior tibia tuberosity with a voltage of 25 %.

Grupo A (Kinesio Taping)

Kinesio Taping placebo DEVICE

The volunteer who is allocated at random in the placebo group will receive an application of Kinesio transverse way the rectus femoris muscle, in order to verify a possible placebo effect of application of tape.

Placebo Taping
