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.

Conditions

  • KINESIOTAPING

Interventions

OTHER

FACILITATION TAPING

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.

OTHER

INHIBITION TAPING

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.

OTHER

PLACEBO TAPING

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.
