Efeito Da Kinesio Taping No Desempenho Do Salto Horizontal E Vertical Em Atletas Recreacionais De Voleibol

Abstract

O objetivo deste trabalho concentra-se em avaliar os efeitos da Kinesio Taping na potência dos membros inferiores após 24, 48 e 72 horas de aplicação da bandagem, bem como 24 horas após a sua retirada. Trata-se de estudo experimental, com 40 atletas, divididos em grupo placebo (GP) e grupo Kinesio Taping (GKT). Foram avaliados o Single-Leg Hop Test, salto em distância e o teste de impulsão vertical, durante cinco dias consecutivos. Utilizou-se os testes ANOVA, t Student e Mann-Whitney (p ≤ 0,05). No grupo GKT não houve aumento da potência dos membros inferiores ao longo dos dias de uso do KT. Porém, quando comparado ao GP, mostrou-se superior para os três saltos. No Single-Leg Hop Test houve melhora após 72 horas de aplicação e 24 horas após a retirada do KT. Para o salto em distância houve melhora durante 24, 48 e 72 horas após a aplicação do KT e 24 horas após a sua retirada. E o teste de impulsão vertical apenas melhorou após 24, 48 e 72 horas de aplicação do KT. Assim, o KT não mostrou melhora da potência durante os dias, porém apresentou superioridade quando comparado ao GP.

Acute Effect of Kinesio Taping Applied to Gastrocnemius Muscle on Jumping Performance in Athletes and Sedentary Individuals

“…[8,13] Besides the studies that evaluated only horizontal jumping, [28,34] many of the studies examining vertical and horizontal jump performance like ours preferred the single leg hop test because it is a reliable and practical method. [4,16,17,22] Contrary to the reports indicating positive effects of KT on horizontal jumping, [4,16] there are also reports in the literature mentioning no such effects. [8,17,22] Similar to these studies, we observed that KT increased horizontal jumping performance in both athletes and sedentary individuals.…”

“…[13][14][15] The number of studies in which both horizontal and vertical jump are considered together is less. [4,16,17] There are many studies investigating the effects of KT on muscle strength, vertical jump, explosive force, pain, inflammation, blood circulation and tissue healing. [14,[18][19][20][21] In order to measure vertical jump and horizontal jump performances, KT was applied on different muscles, and generally the quadriceps femoris muscle was evaluated.…”

“…Similar to our findings, there are studies in the literature reporting a positive effect of KT on jumping performance. [4,18,28,34] Conversely, there are also studies showing that KT has no effect on jumping performance. [8,13] Besides the studies that evaluated only horizontal jumping, [28,34] many of the studies examining vertical and horizontal jump performance like ours preferred the single leg hop test because it is a reliable and practical method.…”

“…Ankle muscle strength is significant enough to affect performance in sports that frequently needs jumping. [3,4] Kinesio taping (KT) is an application that supports the structural feature and flexibility of human skin without limiting joint movement. KT, which can be applied in different ways and directions, is used both for therapeutic and rehabilitation purposes and to support the locomotor system in many professional sports.…”
