Introduction: A growing interest in sports has resulted in an increased number of sports participants and a gradual increase in sports-related injuries. Most sports-related injuries occur after the onset of fatigue. Women are at higher injury risk than men due to differences in physiology, training approach, and muscle strength. This study investigated the effect of Kinesio taping, followed by instant fatigue intervention, on a stop-jump task in women. Method: Eleven healthy female college students with an exercise frequency at least three times per week were recruited as participants in this study. Two Kistler force plates and ten Vicon infrared cameras were synchronized to capture the stop-jump task. Differences in the landing period during the stop-jump task before and after 90-s squat jump muscle fatigue were analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed separately through repeated-measures two-way analysis of variance using SPSS 20.0 (α = .05). Result: In healthy college students without taping, posterior and vertical ground reaction force (GRF), 50-ms posterior momentum, plantar flexion torque, and joint contribution at touch-down increased after fatigue. We observed lower peak vertical GRF, delayed time of peak posterior GRF, lowered posterior and vertical peak loading rates, reduced hip extension torque, and total hip net negative work after taping. Furthermore, healthy college students with taping had lower peak posterior GRF and 50-ms posterior momentum after fatigue. Conclusion: These results indicated that Kinesio taping reduced the landing load and the pressure on the knee, regardless of the fatigue state, but had no acute effect on enhancing performance. We recommend preventive Kinesio taping for intense exercises that involve repeated jumping. |
