| Description | This work aimed at presenting the idea what effect Kinesio Taping® Method has on biceps brachii eccentric contraction. Twenty male volleyball players with the dominant shoulder girdle muscle imbalance between the ages of 25 and 30 participated in this study. We evaluated Kinesio Taping biceps brachii inhibition application with recoil from its proximal to distal end. Isokinetic tests flexion and extension of elbow joint with HUMAC NORM were used to quantify muscle strength before kinesio taping application (first measurement), 24 hours (second measurement) and 72 hours (third measurements) after it. Third and first measurement difference was evaluated as an increase for each parameter (peak torque, average power per best repetition, angle of peak torque). The null hypothesis was not rejected for peak torque and average power per best repetition. Contrarily it was rejected for angle of peak torque. Kinesio Taping® Method has statistically significant effect on angle of peak torque. On the other hand kinesio tape application do not influence peak torque or average power per best repetition. |
