In this technique, the tape is applied with minimal tension (20-30%), directed from proximal to distal or from origin to insertion. The endpoint of the tape is rounded to prevent peeling of the edges and to increase the length of the tape application. During the application, the athlete lies supine on the treatment table, and is expected to bring the relevant muscle into a tense position by hanging the treated extremity over the edge of the bed. In the application, the taping will be performed with the proximal part of the muscle as the origin and the tibial tuberosity region as the endpoint.",[13],"Other: Kinesiology Taping",{"label":15,"type":16,"description":17,"interventionNames":18},"Sham Group","SHAM_COMPARATOR","The participants in the group were scheduled to undergo a sham procedure, described as a fake and ineffective application.

However, scientific evidence on the short-term effects of this application on athletes is limited. In this context, the aim of this study is to evaluate the acute changes in functional performance parameters such as speed, agility, and explosive power in football players who underwent kinesiological taping.\n\nThe aim of this study is to examine the acute effects of kinesiological taping on agility, speed, and lower extremity explosive power in football players. Participants aged 14-18 years who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized into kinesiological tape (n:12) and sham tape (n:12) groups using a closed envelope method. The T-Agility Test will be used for agility, the 30 m Sprint Test for speed, and the Standing Long Jump Test for lower extremity explosive power. All participants will perform agility, speed, and explosive power tests after the same warm-up program. Following the initial assessment, participants will undergo quadriceps muscle technique using kinesiological taping and sham taping by the same physiotherapist. Tests will be repeated immediately after the tapes are applied. The findings are expected to provide information on the potential of kinesiological taping to contribute to short-term performance improvement in soccer players and its effects on preventing sports injuries.",[62,22,63],"Soccer","Functional Performance",[65,66,67,68],"soccer player","kinesiology taping","performance","taping","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-02-12",{"date":72,"type":73},"2026-02-19","ACTUAL",{"date":75,"type":56},"2026-02-01",{"date":77,"type":56},"2026-03-25",{"name":5,"class":6}]
