The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the Kinesio taping after generating muscle fatigue on the static and dynamic balance. The healthy 12 college students ranging 21 to 26 years were selected as subject. The equilibrium reaction of the Kinesio taping and non-taping was measured and was analyzed after exercise to generate muscle fatigue. The data were analyzed by Independent t-test.
The results were as follows ;
1. It was found that the Kinesio taping overall increased the ability of the static balance after generat- ing muscle fatigue.
2. The Kinesio taping statistically significantly affected on the ability of the static balance in the right and in the rear after generating muscle fatigue, but the left static balance had no significant difference. On the contrary, the front static balance was lower in applying to the Kinesio taping than in applying to non-taping.
3. It was found that the Kinesio taping overall increased the ability of the dynamic balance after gen- erating muscle fatigue.
4. The Kinesio taping statistically significantly affected on the ability of the dynamic balance in the right and in the front after generating muscle fatigue, but the left and rear static balance had no sig- nificant difference.
5. It was found that the Kinesio taping increased the ability of the static and dynamic balance after generating muscle fatigue. However the both balance ability after generating muscle fatigue was lower than before.
In consequence, the Kinesio taping applying to the lower extremity increase the ability of the static and dynamic balance after generating muscle fatigue. Therefore the Kinesio taping could help develop the ca- pacity for locomotion at all sort of sports.
