Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
was to registry the resting sEMG activity of vastus lateralis (VL) and vastus medialis (VM) muscles; it was hypothesized that KT application would increase muscle activity in sEMG between initial and final assessment in any of two groups[baseline and immediately after removal (at 24 hours) of KT or PT intervention];was to registry the resting and functional sEMG activity of rectus femoris (RF) muscle; it was hypothesized that KT application would increase muscle activity in sEMG between initial and final assessment in any of two groups[baseline and immediately after removal (at 24 hours) of KT or PT intervention]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
was to analyse the changes in rectus femoris (RF) muscle flexibility showed in Duncan – Ely test (DET); it was hypothesized that KT application would improve muscle flexibility in DET between initial and final assessment in any of two groups[baseline and immediately after removal (at 24 hours) of KT or PT intervention]
