Brief Summary

The study was conducted to investigate the effects of different Kinesio taping directions on dynamic muscle endurance. This randomized, double-blind, crossover study was implemented on 27 healthy male subjects. Before the study, personal and demographic information of the volunteers were recorded and muscle strength was evaluated in the biceps curl position with 1 maximum repetition technique. One week after this first evaluation muscle endurance was evaluated by counting the accurate elbow flexions completed in biceps curl position with 80% weight of 1 maximum repetition recorded in the first evaluation. Following this second evaluation facilitation, inhibition, and placebo tapings were applied to all the 27 subjects who were randomly assigned into 3 groups sequentially with an interval of two days. The sequence of taping technique to be used for the groups were also randomly determined and applied to the M. Biceps Brachii and muscle endurance was evaluated with the same method half-hour after the tape was applied. All the evaluations were performed by the same evaluator who was blind to the taping technique.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Number of Elbow Flexion

  Muscle endurance was found by recording the number of elbow flexions performed within 1 minute in the biceps curl exercise position against moderate violence at the rate of 80% of 1 maximum repetition. Facilitation taping, inhibition taping and placebo taping were applied to 27 subjects randomized to 3 groups at two consecutive day intervals. The order of taping was also determined by randomization method and performed on the biceps braki muscle in the dominant limb of the subjects, and muscle endurance was evaluated half an hour after taping.

Other Outcomes (1)

• Maximum of 1 Repetition (1-MT)

  10 minutes

Study Arms (3)

Grup 1- Facilitation

EXPERIMENTAL

It consists of cases that start with the taping of the facilitation.

Other: FACILITATION TAPING; Other: INHIBITION TAPING; Other: PLACEBO TAPING

Grup 2- İnhibition

EXPERIMENTAL

It consists of cases that start with the taping of the inhibition.

Other: FACILITATION TAPING; Other: INHIBITION TAPING; Other: PLACEBO TAPING

Grup 3- Plasebo

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

It consists of cases that start with the taping of the placebo.

Other: FACILITATION TAPING; Other: INHIBITION TAPING; Other: PLACEBO TAPING

Interventions

FACILITATION TAPING OTHER

The muscle technique, which is a kinesio tape technique, will be used in the biceps brachii muscle. Taping was done with 25% tension with Y tape from the origin to insertion of the muscle.

Grup 1- Facilitation; Grup 2- İnhibition; Grup 3- Plasebo

INHIBITION TAPING OTHER

The muscle technique, which is a kinesio tape technique, will be used in the biceps braki muscle. Taping was done with 25% tension with Y tape from the insertio to origo of the muscle.

Grup 1- Facilitation; Grup 2- İnhibition; Grup 3- Plasebo

PLACEBO TAPING OTHER

Unlike Kinesio taping muscle technique, it was performed with horizontal taping on the muscle. The ends of the kinesio tapes will be applied tension-free without overlapping with I tape.

Grup 1- Facilitation; Grup 2- İnhibition; Grup 3- Plasebo
