Kinesiology Taping (KT) may promote changes in muscle strength and motor performance, topics of great interest in the sports-medicine sciences. These characteristics are purported to be associated with the tension generated by the KT on the skin. However, the most suitable tension for the attainment of these strength and performance effects has not yet been confirmed.
HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE: The purpose of the present study was to analyze the effects of different tensions of KT on the isometric contraction of the quadriceps and lower limb function of healthy individuals over a period of seven days.
Blind, randomized, clinical trial.
One hundred and thirty healthy individuals were distributed into the following five groups: control (without KT); KT0 (KT without tension); KT50; KT75 and KT100 (approximately 50%, 75% and 100% tension applied to the tape, respectively). Assessments of isometric quadriceps strength were conducted using a hand held dynamometer. Lower limb function was assessed through Single Hop Test for Distance, with five measurement periods: baseline; immediately after KT application; three days after KT; five days after KT; and 72h after KT removal (follow-up).
There were no statistically significant differences ( > 0.05) at any of the studied periods on participants' quadriceps strength nor in the function of the lower dominant limb, based on comparisons between the control group and the experimental groups.
KT applied with different tensions did not produce modulations, in short or long-term, on quadriceps' strength or lower limb function of healthy individuals. Therefore, this type of KT application, when seeking these objectives, should be reconsidered.

肌内效贴布（KT）可能会促进肌肉力量和运动表现的变化，这是运动医学领域备受关注的话题。这些特性据称与KT在皮肤上产生的张力有关。然而，尚未证实实现这些力量和表现效果的最合适张力。
假设/目的：本研究的目的是分析不同张力的KT对健康个体股四头肌等长收缩和下肢功能在七天内的影响。
盲法、随机临床试验。
130名健康个体被分为以下五组：对照组（不使用KT）；KT0（无张力的KT）；KT50；KT75和KT100（分别对贴布施加约50%、75%和100%的张力）。使用手持测力计进行股四头肌等长力量评估。通过单腿跳远距离测试评估下肢功能，有五个测量时间段：基线；KT应用后立即；KT应用三天后；KT应用五天后；以及KT去除后72小时（随访）。
基于对照组与实验组之间的比较，在任何研究时间段，参与者的股四头肌力量或优势下肢功能均无统计学显著差异（>0.05）。
不同张力应用的KT在短期或长期内均未对健康个体的股四头肌力量或下肢功能产生调节作用。因此，在追求这些目标时，应重新考虑这种类型的KT应用。
