dc.description.abstractINTRODUCTION: The effect of the application of kinesiotape on muscle strength is still uncertain. This trial represents the first randomized-controlled trial to investigate the immediate and delayed effects of kinesiotape application on triceps muscle strength in healthy subjects. METHOD: The trial was randomized and placebo-controlled. Young adult (18-35 years of age), healthy men were randomly assigned in a 1: 1 ratio to either a kinesiotape group or a sham tape for the control group. Y-shaped kinesiotape was applied to the triceps muscle in the sitting position. I-shaped tape was used for the control group, and the sham tape was placed horizontally on the triceps muscle. A hand-held digital dynamometer was used to evaluate the peak force of elbow extension and flexion. Assessments were carried out before taping, an hour after taping, and after the first week. RESULTS: The mean ages of the participants in the kinesiotape and control groups were 26.2 +/- 4.8 and 26.7 +/- 4.8, respectively. The mean values of the peak force before taping, after the first hour, and after first week were statistically analyzed using one-way repeated measures. No statistical significance was found for in-group analysis of either the kinesiotape group or the control group (p > 0.05). In addition, there was no statistical significance in the between-group assessments (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The triceps muscle is appropriate for studying the effects of kinesiotape on muscle strength because elbow extension is provided by only one fusiform-shaped muscle. The results of this study did not show any significant changes in immediate or delayed muscle strength according to the initial measurements and between-group assessments.en_US
