This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the acute effects of fibular repositioning taping on balance, jumping, and sprint performance in healthy young women. Eligible participants are randomly allocated to one of three groups: fibular repositioning taping, sham taping, or control. Physical performance and dynamic balance are assessed at baseline and after the intervention using functional outcome measures, including jumping tests, a 10-meter sprint test, and the Y Balance Test. The study is designed to determine whether fibular repositioning taping produces short-term changes in selected performance parameters compared with sham taping and no intervention.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fibular Repositioning Taping Group | Experimental | Participants in this group receive fibular repositioning taping applied to the dominant ankle. Baseline assessments are performed before taping, and outcome measurements are repeated 30 minutes after the intervention. |
|
| Sham Taping Group | Sham Comparator | Participants in this group receive a sham taping application with a similar appearance to the fibular repositioning taping but without therapeutic fibular repositioning. Baseline assessments are performed before taping, and outcome measurements are repeated 30 minutes after the application. |
|
| Control Group | No Intervention | Participants in this group receive no taping intervention. Baseline assessments are performed, and outcome measurements are repeated after a 30-minute waiting period. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fibular Repositioning Taping | Procedure | Fibular repositioning taping is applied to the dominant ankle using a rigid taping technique intended to support fibular positioning. Outcome measurements are repeated 30 minutes after the application. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Y Balance Test | Dynamic balance will be assessed using the Y Balance Test. The composite score will be calculated from reach distances and normalized to limb length. Higher composite scores indicate better dynamic balance performance. | Baseline and 30 minutes after the intervention |
| Horizontal Jump Test | Horizontal jump performance will be assessed using the Horizontal Jump Test. The jump distance will be measured in centimeters from the starting line to the landing point. Greater distance indicates better horizontal jump performance. | Baseline and 30 minutes after the intervention |
| 10-Meter Sprint Test | Sprint performance will be assessed using the 10-meter sprint test. The time required to complete the 10-meter sprint will be recorded in seconds. Shorter times indicate better sprint performance. | Baseline and 30 minutes after the intervention |
| Vertical Jump Test | Vertical jump performance will be assessed using the Vertical Jump Test. Jump height will be measured in centimeters. Greater jump height indicates better vertical jump performance. | Baseline and 30 minutes after the intervention |
