Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to analyse the effect of KT on countermovement jump (CMJ) and sprint immediately and 24 hours after its application on the quadriceps and gluteus maximus.

Conditions

Sports Physical Therapy; Athletics; Performance

Keywords

Kinesiotape; Soccer; Sprint

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Countermovement vertical jump

  Countermovement jump test was carried out on a Chronojump Boscosystem® contact platform and the jump height was measured in centimeters

  24 hours

• 20 m sprints test

  Sprint-speed measurements were conducted using Chronojump

  24 hours

Study Arms (3)

Placebo Group

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

With regard to the Kinesiotape technique, 2 I-shaped tapes were placed at the quadriceps, following the same direction of the muscle fibres and with no tension. At the gluteus, 2 I-shaped tapes were applied following the same direction of the muscle fibres and with no tension.

Other: Kinesiotape of the physical performance

Experimental Group

EXPERIMENTAL

In rectus femoris, origin was under the anterosuperior iliac spines, and taping finished with a Y-shape pattern under the patella. After that, an I-shaped KT was applied over vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles in both quadriceps. Finally, subjects were taped with a Y-shaped KT at the gluteus maximus muscles. Tape tension was between 25% and 50%.

Other: Kinesiotape of the physical performance

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

It has not done any intervention in this group.

Interventions

Kinesiotape of the physical performance OTHER

It has done a countermovement vertical jump, a twenty meter sprint and a kinesio tape application technique

Model Details: Thirty-seven subjects were randomly allocated to the different study groups using the software AleatorMetod.xls. Subjects were divided into three groups: 13 subjects were assigned to the experimental group with KT activation (KTact); 12 subjects, to the placebo group with a sham tape KT (KTst); and 12 subjects, to the control group (CG).
