To determine the immediate effects of applied forearm Kinesio taping on maximal grip strength and force sense of healthy collegiate athletes.
Single group, repeated measures study.
Clinical sports medicine laboratory at a university hospital.
Twenty-one healthy collegiate athletes voluntarily participated in this study. All subjects were male (average height: 181.24 ± 7.60 cm; average body weight: 72.86 ± 7.03 kg; average age: 20.86 ± 2.59 years).
First, maximal grip strength of the dominant hand was assessed by hand-held dynamometer. Then, 50% of maximal grip strength was established as the reference value of force sense. Absolute and related force sense errors and maximal grip strength were measured under three conditions: (1) without taping; (2) with placebo taping; and (3) with Kinesio taping.
Results revealed no significant differences in maximal grip strength between the three conditions (p = 0.936). Both related and absolute force sense errors in grip strength measurements significantly increased the accuracy of the results under the three conditions (related force sense errors: p < 0.05; absolute force sense errors: p < 0.05).
Forearm Kinesio taping may enhance either related or absolute force sense in healthy collegiate athletes. However, Kinesio taping did not result in changes in maximal grip strength in healthy subjects.
确定应用前臂肌内效贴布对健康大学生运动员最大握力和力量感觉的即时影响。
单组、重复测量研究。
大学医院临床运动医学实验室。
21 名健康的大学生运动员自愿参加了这项研究。所有受试者均为男性（平均身高：181.24 ± 7.60 cm；平均体重：72.86 ± 7.03 kg；平均年龄：20.86 ± 2.59 岁）。
首先，使用手持测力计评估优势手的最大握力。然后，将 50%的最大握力确立为力量感觉的参考值。在三种情况下测量绝对和相对力量感觉误差以及最大握力：（1）无贴布；（2）安慰剂贴布；（3）肌内效贴布。
结果显示，三种情况下的最大握力无显著差异（p = 0.936）。在三种情况下，握力测量的相关和绝对力量感觉误差均显著提高了结果的准确性（相关力量感觉误差：p < 0.05；绝对力量感觉误差：p < 0.05）。
前臂肌内效贴布可能增强健康大学生运动员的相关或绝对力量感觉。然而，肌内效贴布并未导致健康受试者最大握力发生变化。
