Background: Kinesio Tape (KT) is a somewhat new type of taping technique gaining popularity as both treatment and performance enhancement tool. Considering the fact that KT can improve muscle performance, however, limited research has been done on the different technique of strips application of KT on functional performance. Therefore purpose of this study is to compare Comparison of three kinesio technique application on jumping in collegiate female athletes.
Methods: 45 healthy collegiate female athletes were recruited based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The subjects were randomly divided into three equal groups (group I, n=15, Group II, n=15 & group III, n=15). Group I received Y application of kinesio taping, Group II received I application of kinesio taping while, Group III underwent combined Y & I application of kinesio tape on triceps surae. Pre and post measurement of vertical jump (in terms of power average, power peak) and horizontal distance were documented.
Results: Statistically significant differences were found between the difference power average, difference power peak and difference horizontal jump in group I, II and III (p<0.001). Within group comparison also revealed statistically significant differences in power average, power peak and horizontal jump in all the three groups (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Combined technique (Y and I) application of kinesio was more effective in improving vertical jump (power average, power peak) and horizontal jump as compared to Y and I application alone.
