Kinesiology Tape
6 days ago
A study conducted in 2014 for the effects of Kinesiology tape on athletic performance concurred that the tape acts as a place-
bo and shows no real signs in improving the athletic ability of the participants or their performance. In the study the partici-
pants were blindfolded with three forms of tape attached to two of the three groups, one was a control group, one group had
the Kinesio tape applied while the final group had sham kin-tape applied. After measuring the "normalized peak torque, nor-
malized total work, and time to peak torque at 60°/s or 180°/s (p = 0.31-0.99) between three taping conditions." the study con-
cluded that there was no supporting evidence that the Kinesiology tape had any effect on the participants.
