Controversy exists regarding whether the kinesiology tape application direction affects muscle strength.
Eighteen healthy volunteers (12 men, 6 women) participated. Kinesiology tape was randomly applied to the quadriceps muscles either from origin to insertion or from insertion to origin. A Biodex isokinetic dynamometer was used to measure the peak torque of the quadriceps pre-and post-taping.
There was a significant difference in muscle strength after taping, regardless of the kinesiology tape application direction. There were no significant differences in the peak torque of the quadriceps between the 2 kinesiology tape application directions.
The application of kinesiology tape application to the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis of the quadriceps increased the muscle torque, regardless of the tape application direction. Therefore, to enhance quadriceps strength, we recommend the application of kinesiology tape to 3 of the muscles of the quadriceps (specifically, the rectus femoris, vastus medialis and vastus lateralis), irrespective of the tape application direction.
关于肌内效贴布的贴扎方向是否会影响肌肉力量存在争议。
18名健康志愿者（12名男性，6名女性）参与研究。肌内效贴布被随机以从起点到止点或从止点到起点的方式贴扎于股四头肌。使用Biodex等速测力计测量贴扎前后股四头肌的峰值扭矩。
无论肌内效贴布的贴扎方向如何，贴扎后肌肉力量均存在显著差异。两种肌内效贴布贴扎方向之间股四头肌的峰值扭矩无显著差异。
无论贴扎方向如何，将肌内效贴布贴扎于股四头肌的股直肌、股内侧肌和股外侧肌均可增加肌肉扭矩。因此，为增强股四头肌力量，我们建议将肌内效贴布贴扎于股四头肌的三块肌肉（具体为股直肌、股内侧肌和股外侧肌），而无需考虑贴扎方向。
