The main objective of this study is to analyse the effect of KT on countermovement jump (CMJ) and sprint immediately and 24 hours after its application on the quadriceps and gluteus maximus.
Kinesiotape (KT) is a technique commonly used in sports practice. It may be beneficial in enhancing muscle function by additional cutaneous afferent stimulation. The objective of this study was to analyze the effect of KT on countermovement jump (CMJ) and 20-m sprints immediately and 24 hours after its application on the quadriceps and gluteus maximus. A total of 37 male soccer players (19.7 ± 0.9 years old) were randomly assigned to one of 3 groups: experimental group: KT activation (KTact), placebo group: sham tape (KTst), and control group (CG). Participants performed a 30-minute preliminary warm-up, after which they conducted CMJ and 20-m sprint tests. These tests were repeated later (with KT application or not) and after 24 hours.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Placebo Group | Placebo Comparator | With regard to the Kinesiotape technique, 2 I-shaped tapes were placed at the quadriceps, following the same direction of the muscle fibres and with no tension. At the gluteus, 2 I-shaped tapes were applied following the same direction of the muscle fibres and with no tension. |
|
| Experimental Group | Experimental | In rectus femoris, origin was under the anterosuperior iliac spines, and taping finished with a Y-shape pattern under the patella. After that, an I-shaped KT was applied over vastus medialis and vastus lateralis muscles in both quadriceps. Finally, subjects were taped with a Y-shaped KT at the gluteus maximus muscles. Tape tension was between 25% and 50%. |

| Control Group | No Intervention | It has not done any intervention in this group. |

The timing of the application of KT in the gluteus maximus and the quadriceps should be taken into account as the speed of execution in football players decreases immediately after its application and 24 hours after the test is performed

Thirty-seven subjects were randomly allocated to the different study groups using the software AleatorMetod.xls. Subjects were divided into three groups: 13 subjects were assigned to the experimental group with KT activation (KTact); 12 subjects, to the placebo group with a sham tape KT (KTst); and 12 subjects, to the control group (CG).
