Effect of Bilateral Application of Kinesiotape (KT) on Broad Jump and Vertical Jump

Abstract

The popularity of Kinesiotape (KT) use is increasing in professional and Olympic level competitions to improve physical performance, diminish pain, or both. However, little conclusive data exists, especially regarding its effectiveness on lower extremity functional power. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the impact of KT application on vertical and broad jump performance in healthy, college students.
