Abstract
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of kinesio taping on muscle strength and changes of muscle fatigue and damage. 10 male subjects participated in 1-RM and isometric cybex muscle strength tests with and without taping application. Muscle strength (bench press, leg press) and extension (knee, shoulder) strength were significantly increased after taping, but there was no significant difference in flexion (knee, shoulder) strength. The concentration of fatigue factors (ammonia, phosphorous), muscle damage index substances (CK, LDH), IGF-I and creatinine were reduced after taping, but there were no significant differences.
