The Effect of Kinesiotaping on Sprint and Dynamic Balance in Children

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Sports Performance in Children
• Interventions: Other: Placebo Kinesiotaping; Other: Kinesiotaping

• Registration Number: NCT04979286
• Lead Sponsor: Hacettepe University

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the acute effects of kinesio taping applied to the gastrocnemius muscles of children enrolled in soccer school on sprint and dynamic balance.Children who meet the required criteria will be randomly placed in the kinesio taping and placebo groups by drawing lots. Dynamic balance and sprint abilities of the participants were evaluated before and immediately after taping. Y Balance Test will be used to evaluate dynamic balance. Measurements were taken in the anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral directions of the right and left sides.10 m and 20 m sprint tests will be used to assess speed ability. In-group and between-group comparisons will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program and appropriate tests.
