“…In contrast, there was no significant difference between time points in the control group (F (1,19) = 3.12; P = 0.11). The MVIC of hamstrings did not differ from the baseline value of the NS group (F (1,19) = 0.51; P = 0.50) and the control group (F (1,19) = 0.03; P = 0.86) ( Table 2).…”

“…Wong et al (2012) tested before and immediately after taping while this study tested before and 24 hours after taping. Lumbroso et al (2014) studied effect of KT (30% tension) application over hamstring on peak force among 36 physical therapy students (27) while our subjects were men who had ACL reconstruction and taped 50% tension. They found no immediate change of peak force in the hamstring group, however, two days later, peak force significantly increased that agrees with parts of the results of the present study.…”

Purpose:The aim of this study was to assess mid-term effect of Kinesio tape on peak power of quadriceps and hamstrings muscles after ACL reconstruction 24 hours after taping. Material:Thirty six men who had undergone ACL reconstruction and completed physiotherapy periods (6 months) were assigned to no taping, placebo and taping groups. Peak power was tested before and 24 hours after taping by Isokinetic dynamometry. Data was analyzed by SPSS software 19. ANOVA and post hoc test (LSD) were used for interpretive analysis. Results:The results showed that the effect of Kinesio tape on peak power of quadriceps muscles at velocities of 180°/s and 300°/s was significant. In the hamstring muscles, significant effects were obtained at velocities of 60°/s, 180°/s & 300°/s. Conclusions:Positive impacts of Kinesio tape on muscular peak power among athletes who had ACL reconstruction were observed. Regardless of psychological effect and reducing re -injury fear, Kinesio -tape causes to stabilize and increase effective range of motion of the knee, so it is recommended that in the explosive training, athletes who have ACL reconstruction should use tape to reduce the probability of re-injury and increase muscle power.

“…According to the authors, the KT application contributed to an improved proprioception in these athletes [28]. Also, Lumbroso et al [24] observed an increase in the strength of the calf triceps after 15 minutes and after 48 hours of taping. Similarly, Chang et al [13] demonstrated an increase in the subjective feeling of strength in a group of athletes using a KT application on the forearm muscles (despite a lack of reference to the results of the maximal grip strength test).…”

SummaryStudy aim: Kinesiotaping, or Kinesiology Taping (KT), is increasingly being used for physiotherapy treatments and for biological regeneration in athletes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the application of lymphatic kinesiotaping in reducing delayed onset muscle soreness of biceps brachii. Material and methods:The study included 34 women, aged 18-27. In the test group of patients (n = 17) a lymphatic KT application was used. All of the women performed the arm strength trial (with IPFT) and arm muscle training (with a repeat of the trial 5 times 60-80% max). Other study tools used were an sEMG, VAS (pain assessment) and the Borg scale (subjective assessment of the intensity of effort). The measurements (arm muscles strength, sEMG, pain intensity, exercise intensity) were repeated at 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after performing the exercise. Results: The weakest results for the arm strength test were recorded in the second measurement in the test group, and in the third measurement in the control group. The pain level declared in the first measurement was similar in both groups. In the third measurement (48 hours after the exercise), the level of pain in the test group was significantly lower (p < 0.05) than in the control group. Discussion: The kinesiotaping method can assist in reducing delayed muscle soreness, which was confirmed by the results of the tests. However, there is no evidence about the impact of specific types of KT applications on the reduction of the DOMS symptoms.
