Brief Summary
The tape will be applied on the lumbar area bilaterally to the spine without creating any tension. The possible variation in the isometric hip strength is measured with the mDurance®, surface electromyography and the Lafayette® dynamometer. A kinesiology tape was used as a placebo tape and the magnetic tape was used in a randomized experimental way.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (4)
muscle fiber activation
Maximum isometric strength of hip abduction measured with the mDurance® surface electromyograph.
Changes for activity (microvolts) first evaluation before placing the tapes and immediately after placing the experimental tape and the placebo tape.
Peak force of hip abduction
Maximum isometric strength of hip abduction measured with the Lafayette® dynamometer.
Changes from strength (kilograms) in first assessment before placing the tapes and immediately after placing experimental tape and placebo tape.
Average force of hip abduction
Mean isometric strength of hip abduction measured with the Lafayette® dynamometer.
Changes from strength (kilograms) in first assessment before placing the tapes and immediately after placing experimental tape and placebo tape.
Time to reach peak force of hip abduction
Time to maximum isometric strength of hip abduction measured with the Lafayette® dynamometer.
Changes from time (seconds) in first assessment before placing the tapes and immediately after placing experimental tape and placebo tape.
