Kinesio Taping in Muscle Damage Response Induced by Eccentric Exercise

Kinesio Taping® Does Not Interfere in Muscle Damage Response Induced by Eccentric Exercise: a Randomized Controlled Trial

• Status: Completed
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 60 (actual)
• Sponsor: Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte · Academic / Other
• Sex: Female
• Age: 18 Years – 28 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Sixty volunteers with a mean age of 21,8 ± 2,6 years participated in this study, randomly distributed into one of the following groups: control, Kinesio taping group with tension in the anterior arm region and Kinesio taping group without tension in the same region. All subjects underwent an eccentric exercise protocol and three evaluations: before the protocol, immediately after and 48h after protocol. The following variables were analyzed: sensation of pain as the primary outcome; peak torque normalized by body weight; average peak torque; total work and average power, using an isokinetic dynamometer. In addition, muscle activation amplitude (Root Mean Square) and median frequency were recorded using surface electromyography.

Conditions
