The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of taping therapy on muscle activities between the group of taping therapy treatment and control group before or after exercises. The subjects are 18 S college’s healthy male students who do not have any problems in the legs and could bend the knee joint normally. Considering physique, condition of health and capacity for locomotion, 3 groups of each 6 persons for the experimentation were classified. Three groups composed of control group without taping therapy treatment for control group, group I with taping therapy treatment only before the experimentation and group II with taping therapy treatment during 24 hour. before and after the experimentation. EMG MP150 was used to evaluate the parameter of the lower leg’s muscle activities the exercise before 5 min. after 10 min. and after 24 hour. for the experimentation. Compared with control group, group I and group II had more increased muscle activities in vastus lateralis and rectus femoris and was statistically significant. And group I and group II also had more increase in muscle activities than control group in vastus medialis, although there was no statistically significant. We found that taping therapy increased muscle activity positively. The application of taping therapy could be used not only for preventive effects for sports man but also therapeutic effects for general people.
