Summary

In this study involving adolescent individuals who play basketball, we will investigate the effect of kinesio taping. Kinesio taping can be applied with appropriate technique and tension to reduce pain, swelling, and muscle spasms, as well as to correct mechanical issues. In this study, researchers will apply kinesio taping to the ankle and knee and thes assess its impact on balance, agility, and jumping performance through various tests. Specifically, researchers will conduct the star balance test for balance, the T-test for agility, and the vertical jump test for jumping performance. researchers plan to carry out this research with 30 participants at the Dev Ataşehir Sports Club to gather the necessary data.

kinesiotape application

In the Star Balance Test, lines are drawn on the ground. The individual stands on their dominant foot and reaches out with the tip of the contralateral foot to touch these lines, and points are recorded. For the T-Agility Test, a course is set up, and the participant is asked to complete it as quickly as possible, with time being recorded. As implied by its name, cones are placed in a T-shape for the T-Agility Test, and the individual is required to touch the cones and return to the starting point as quickly as possible. In the Vertical Jump Test, the individual is asked to jump as high as possible against a wall-mounted ruler, and the highest point reached is recorded. The Kinesio tape used in the study is designed to reflect the characteristics of the skin and allow for approximately 55-60% elongation of its original length. These tests are first conducted without Kinesio tape and then repeated with Kinesio tape applied. Rest intervals are provided between tests.
