This study aimed to determine the effects of application direction of the kinesiology tape on the strength of fatigued quadriceps muscles, and included 15 athletes (mean: age, 19.53 ± 2.42 years; height, 176.93 ± 6.9 cm; weight, 72.87 ± 13.02 kg). The kinesiology tape was randomly applied to the quadriceps from origin to insertion (n = 7) or from insertion to origin (n = 8) after inducing quadriceps muscle fatigue. After 1 week, the kinesiology tape was applied in the opposite direction (insertion to origin [n = 7] or origin to insertion [n = 8]) after inducing quadriceps muscle fatigue. The peak torque of the fatigued quadriceps muscles was measured before and after tape application. Increased peak torque values were observed irrespective of the direction of taping. No significant differences were noted in the peak torque of the fatigued quadriceps muscles with respect to application direction. Kinesiology tape application may improve the strength of fatigued quadriceps muscles regardless of application direction.
本研究旨在确定肌内效贴布的贴扎方向对疲劳股四头肌力量的影响，研究纳入了15名运动员（平均年龄：19.53±2.42岁；身高：176.93±6.9厘米；体重：72.87±13.02千克）。在诱导股四头肌疲劳后，将肌内效贴布随机以从起点到止点（n = 7）或从止点到起点（n = 8）的方向贴扎于股四头肌。1周后，在诱导股四头肌疲劳后，将肌内效贴布以相反方向（止点到起点[n = 7]或起点到止点[n = 8]）贴扎。在贴布应用前后测量疲劳股四头肌的峰值扭矩。无论贴扎方向如何，均观察到峰值扭矩值增加。疲劳股四头肌的峰值扭矩在贴扎方向方面无显著差异。无论贴扎方向如何，应用肌内效贴布均可改善疲劳股四头肌的力量。
