Summary

This study aims to evaluate the acute effect of neuromuscular taping applied to the forearm on maximal grip strength, pressure pain threshold, and muscle oxygenation in healthy university athletes after exercise. Using a randomized controlled trial design, the study aims to provide rigorous evidence that will help clarify the potential benefits of Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) in a sports context. The relevance of this research lies in providing useful information for health and sports professionals, facilitating informed decision-making regarding the use of this technique in daily practice. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted, with participants divided into four groups: two experimental groups, one placebo group, and one control group. One experimental group will receive NMT with proximal-to-distal tension, while the other will receive distal-to-proximal tension. The placebo group will receive NMT without tension, and the control group no NMT application.

  • KINESIOTAPING
  • NEUROMUSCULAR TAPING

Interventions

OTHER

Neuromuscular taping applied with no tension

Neuromuscular taping applied with no tension over the anterior surface of the forearm before performing an exercise protocol to observe immediate changes in pain pressure, muscle oxygenation and grip strength

OTHER

Neuromuscular taping applied with distal-to-proximal tension

Neuromuscular taping applied with distal-to-proximal tension over the anterior surface of the forearm before performing an exercise protocol to observe immediate changes in pain pressure, muscle oxygenation and grip strength

OTHER

Neuromuscular taping applied with proximal-to-distal tension

Neuromuscular taping applied with proximal-to-distal tension over the anterior surface of the forearm before performing an exercise protocol to observe immediate changes in pain pressure, muscle oxygenation and grip strength
