“…The above findings were consistent with recent ob- servations that there were no major improvements in muscle strength efficiency following KT (15,20,21). In accordance with the results of this study, the Zanchet et al findings did not support the use of "I" shape KT on the ventral forearm in increasing muscle strength in healthy athletes (18). Zhang et al also showed the incapacity of forearm KT to reinforce hand grip strength immediately in healthy athletes (16).…”

“…The study was conducted as a quasi-experimental trial on thirty-three elite female squash players. The sample size calculation was made using the G*Power statistics software (v.3.1.2, Universität Kiel, Alemanha), considering the Zanchet et al (18) findings and assuming a power of 80%, effect size of 0.8 and α = 0.05, at least 30 athletes would be necessary to perform the study.…”

Background: Hand grip plays a fundamental role in most daily and athletic activities of the upper extremities. Objectives: The study compared the effect of various methods of forearm Kinesio-taping (KT) on the hand grip strength and endurance of Iranian elite squash players during their sporting activities at different times. Methods: Thirty-three female squash players were assigned to a quasi-experimental study, and KT was applied on their dominant forearm (on the flexor area, on the extensor area, and placebo taping). Grip strength was evaluated before, immediately, 30, and 60 minutes after KT, and grip endurance was also assessed before and 60 minutes after KT using MIE digital grip analyzer. Friedman and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to analyze the results of grip strength, and ANOVA and the sample t-test were applied to analyze the grip endurance data. Results: The findings revealed no significant differences within the grip strength at different phases (P > 0.05). However, p values for the outcomes of KT on the flexor area‎, KT on the extensor area‎, and placebo mode were respectively 0.145, 0.178, 0.065 in each phase of the evaluation. A significant difference ‎among KT groups and the LSD test revealed a significant increase in grip endurance in the mode of KT on the extensor area, whereas there have been no significant differences in grip endurance in KT on flexor (P = 0.785) and extensor (P = 0.457) areas. Conclusions: There was no obvious superiority of the various methods of forearm ‎ KT ‎ on grip strength at different times; nevertheless, KT was an efficient method for retaining grip endurance in squash players with no significant differences between the flexor and extensor locations.

“…To enhance muscle power, Kenzo Kase sug-gested taping with 25-35% tension [15]. However, other researchers recommended 50% tension, while Atrib Zanchet et al [16] demonstrated that KT with 25% tension did not demonstrate any changes in the handgrip strength.…”

IntroductionKinesio taping is one of the commonly used treatment modalities in rehabilitation. When applied appropriately, it may improve muscle strength and performance. This study aimed to determine the immediate and short-term effect of 35% tension Kinesio taping on handgrip strength in healthy females.MethodsOverall, 60 healthy female subjects aged 19–30 years were randomly assigned to 2 groups: the tension Kinesio taping group, who received taping with 35% tension, and the control group, who received the same taping technique but with no tension. A hand-held dynamometer was used to measure handgrip strength in all participants. The measurements were taken before taping, as well as at 30 minutes and 24 and 48 hours of taping.ResultsHandgrip strength significantly improved in both groups after taping (<i>p</i> < 0.05). Comparing with the control group, the tension Kinesio taping group demonstrated more significant results at 30 minutes and 24 and 48 hours (<i>p</i> < 0.05).ConclusionsTaping with 35% tension produces an immediate and short-term increase in handgrip strength in healthy females.

Cricket is one of the most popular international sports played worldwide. Ballistic six plyometric training improves throwing activity in throwing sports, improves rotator cuff muscular strength, and prevents and reduces the risk of shoulder injury associated with overhead pitching. Kinesiotaping is used in rehabilitation, as a treatment for sportsrelated injuries, and as a means of injury prevention. The objective of the study was to compare the combined effect of kinesiotaping with ‘ballistic six plyometric training’ and with ballistic six plyometric training alone on speed, accuracy, target and joint proprioception in fast bowlers with mild glenohumeral joint instability. Thirty male semiprofessional fast bowlers in the age group of 20-30 years were included in this study and randomly divided into two groups: group A and group B with 15 players in each group. Group A received kinesiotaping along with ballistic six plyometric training, whereas group B was only given ballistic six plyometric training. Both groups also performed conventional upper extremity workouts. All players were evaluated for bowling speed, accuracy, target and joint proprioception (internal rotation & external rotation) with a radar gun, cricket specific bowling accuracy test, no. of balls hit stump in an over and inclinometer, respectively. Both groups improved significantly at the end of week 8, however, group B showed significant difference for bowling speed, accuracy, target and joint proprioception (P<0.05). Rehabilitation protocol comprising of combined kinesiotaping, plyometrics along with conventional protocol can be beneficial in enhancing performance related variables, i.e. bowling speed, accuracy and target in fast bowlers with mild glenohumeral instability.
