Kinesio taping (KT) is a popular taping technique used in the recovery process; however, in the relevant literature, there is no real consensus on its efficacy.
To investigate whether rectus femoris KT application after delayed onset muscle soreness enhances recovery of muscle soreness, edema, and physical performance.
A total of 22 healthy amateur male athletes participated in this study.
Randomized, crossover study.
Human performance laboratory of the university.
Participants performed an exercise protocol inducing delayed onset muscle soreness. They accomplished 2 distinct trials, with or without KT. The washout period between trials was 6 weeks. For the KT condition, KT inhibition technique was used and applied immediately after exercise bilaterally on rectus femoris.
Range of motion, muscle soreness, and edema were measured at baseline, 30 minutes, 24, 48, and 72 hours postexercise. Dynamic balance, sprint, and horizontal jump were evaluated at similar time frame except for 30-minute postexercise.
The findings showed that there were no significant differences between the KT group (KTG) and control group for all outcome variables (P > .05). Muscle soreness returned to baseline values 72 hours postexercise only within the KTG (P > .05). Although the horizontal jump performance decreased substantially from baseline to 24 and 48 hours postexercise only within the control group (P < .05), the performance increased significantly from 24 to 72 hours postexercise within the KTG (P < .05). Balance increased significantly from baseline to 48 hours postexercise (P < .05) in both groups. Balance also increased significantly from baseline to 72 hours postexercise only within the KTG (P < .05). The effect size of soreness which is our primary outcome was large in both groups (r > .5).
KT is favorable in the recovery of muscle soreness after delayed onset muscle soreness. KT has beneficial effects on horizontal jump performance and dynamic balance.
运动贴扎（Kinesio taping，KT）是一种常用于康复过程中的流行贴扎技术；然而，在相关文献中，其疗效并没有真正的共识。
研究股直肌 KT 在延迟性肌肉酸痛后的应用是否能促进肌肉酸痛、水肿和身体表现的恢复。
共有 22 名健康的业余男性运动员参与了这项研究。
随机交叉研究。
大学人体性能实验室。
参与者进行了一项诱发延迟性肌肉酸痛的运动方案。他们完成了 2 个不同的试验，有或没有 KT。试验之间的洗脱期为 6 周。对于 KT 条件，使用 KT 抑制技术，在股直肌双侧运动后立即应用。
运动后 30 分钟、24 小时、48 小时和 72 小时测量关节活动度、肌肉酸痛和水肿。在相似的时间框架内评估动态平衡、冲刺和水平跳跃，除了运动后 30 分钟。
结果显示，在所有观察指标上，KT 组（KTG）与对照组之间均无显著差异（P＞.05）。只有 KTG 组的肌肉酸痛在运动后 72 小时恢复到基线值（P＞.05）。尽管仅在对照组中，水平跳跃表现从基线到 24 小时和 48 小时后显著下降（P＜.05），但在 KTG 组中，从 24 小时到 72 小时后显著增加（P＜.05）。两组的平衡均从基线到 48 小时后显著增加（P＜.05）。仅在 KTG 组中，平衡也从基线到 72 小时后显著增加（P＜.05）。我们的主要观察指标疼痛的效应量在两组中均较大（r＞.5）。
KT 有利于延迟性肌肉酸痛后的肌肉酸痛恢复。KT 对水平跳跃表现和动态平衡有有益影响。
