The application of kinesio tape (KT) to lower-extremity muscles as an ergogenic aid to improve muscle-strength-related parameters such as jumping is controversial.
To test the hypothesis that the application of KT enhances the jumping performance of healthy uninjured elite female track and field athletes.
A double 1-legged jump test was performed before and after the application of blue K-Active tape without traction on the maximally stretched gastrocnemius, hamstrings, rectus femoris, and iliopsoas muscles according to the generally accepted technique.
18 German elite female track and field athletes (age 21 ± 2 y, height 172 ± 4 cm, body mass 62 ± 5 kg, active time in their sport 13 ± 4 y).
Factorial analysis of variance with repeated measures (ANOVA, Bonferroni) revealed no significant differences in jumping performance between the tests (P > .05, d = 0.26).
These findings suggest that the application of KT has no influence on jumping performance in healthy, uninjured female elite athletes. The authors do not recommend the use of KT for the purpose of improving jump performance.
将肌内效贴布(KT)应用于下肢肌肉作为一种提高运动能力的辅助手段,以改善诸如跳跃等与肌肉力量相关的参数,这一做法存在争议。
检验肌内效贴布的应用能提高健康未受伤的精英女性田径运动员跳跃成绩这一假设。
根据普遍接受的技术,在最大程度拉伸的腓肠肌、腘绳肌、股直肌和髂腰肌上应用无牵引的蓝色K-Active贴布前后,进行双单腿跳跃测试。
18名德国精英女性田径运动员(年龄21±2岁,身高172±4厘米,体重62±5千克,从事该项运动的时间13±4年)。
重复测量方差分析(ANOVA,Bonferroni法)显示,各测试之间的跳跃成绩无显著差异(P>.05,d=0.26)。
这些结果表明,肌内效贴布的应用对健康未受伤的女性精英运动员的跳跃成绩没有影响。作者不建议为提高跳跃成绩而使用肌内效贴布。
