Summary

The main objective of this study is to analyse the effect of KT on countermovement jump (CMJ) and sprint immediately and 24 hours after its application on the quadriceps and gluteus maximus.

Detailed description

Kinesiotape (KT) is a technique commonly used in sports practice. It may be beneficial in enhancing muscle function by additional cutaneous afferent stimulation. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of KT on countermovement jump (CMJ) and 20-m sprints immediately and 24 hours after its application on the quadriceps and gluteus maximus. A total of 37 male soccer players (19.7 ± 0.9 years old) were randomly assigned to one of 3 groups: experimental group: KT activation (KTact), placebo group: sham tape (KTst), and control group (CG). Participants performed a 30-minute preliminary warm-up, after which they conducted CMJ and 20-m sprint tests. These tests were repeated later (with KT application or not) and after 24 hours.
