Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Muscle fatigue results in decreased ability in muscles to generate force. Kinesio Tape may reverse the adverse effects of fatigue. Thus this study will examine the acute effects of Kinesio tape on muscle fatigue.

Condition or Disease	Intervention/Treatment	Phase
Fatigue	Other: Kinesio Taping under tension.; Other: Kinesio Tape without tension; Other: Rigid Taping	N/A

Detailed Description

The participants will be divided into three groups; 1. Experimental group: Kinesio tape with 50% tension will be applied; 2. Sham group: Kinesio tape without any tension will be applied; 3. Placebo group: Rigid tape without any tension will be applied.
