Abstract

Objective: Kinesio taping (KT), helps athletes move more stably and safely by providing support to muscles and joints. Thus, it allows athletes to develop more strength and speed. It also supports athletes to exercise with higher performance and have a faster recovery process.
This study aims to examine the acute effect of KT applied to athletes on balance and vertical jump strength.
Methods: Tests including vertical jump/leg-back strength and balance parameters of right and left one foot and two feet were applied to 19 male athletes with a mean age of 20.5±1.6 years. After taping was applied to the gluteus maximus, medius, and quadriceps muscles of the athletes, the tests were repeated.
Results: A significant difference was found in all parameters (vertical jump strength p<0.001, leg-back strength p=0.001, right single foot balance p<0.00, left single foot balance p<0.001, and double foot balance p=0.002) in the evaluations.
Conclusion: In our study, positive developments were observed in jumping and balance parameters with the KT applied to the athletes.

Sporculara Uygulanan Kinezyo Bant Uygulamasının Performansa Olan Akut Etkisinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Amaç: Kinesiyo bantlama (KB), kaslara ve eklemlere destek sağlayarak, sporcuların daha stabil ve güvenli bir şekilde hareket etmelerine yardımcı olmaktadır. Böylece, sporcuların daha fazla kuvvet ve hız geliştirmelerine olanak tanımaktadır. Ayrıca sporcuların daha yüksek performansla egzersiz yapmalarını ve daha hızlı bir iyileşme sürecine sahip olmalarını desteklemektedir.
Bu çalışmanın amacı; sporculara uygulanan KB’nin denge ve dikey sıçrama kuvvetine olan akut etkisini incelemektir.
Yöntem: Yaş ortalaması 20,5±1,6 olan 19 erkek sporcuya bantlama öncesi; dikey sıçrama/ bacak-sırt kuvveti ile sağ ve sol tek ayak ve çift ayak denge parametrelerini içeren testler uygulandı. Bantlama, sporcuların gluteus maksimus, medius ve kuadriseps kaslarına yapıldıktan sonra testler tekrarlandı.
Bulgular: Değerlendirmelerde bakılan tüm parametrelerde (dikey sıçrama kuvveti p<0,001, bacak-sırt kuvveti p=0,001, sağ tek ayak denge p<0,001, sol tek ayak denge p<0,001 ve çift ayak denge p=0,002) anlamlı fark elde edildi.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda sporculara uygulanan KB ile sıçrama ve denge parametrelerinde olumlu gelişmeler olduğu gözlenmiştir.
