| Abstract | Objectives: The purpose of this study is to investigate the protective role of kinesiotaping on pain and handgrip strength performance during the tennis tournament of collegeplayers.Methods: Participants were equally divided into three groups (the first group KinesioTaping Group (KTG): 14 females and 15 males, the second group Placebo Taping Group(PTG): 15 females and 16 males, and the third group No Taping Group (NTG): 15 femalesand 14 males tennis players). Forty-three females and forty-six males volunteers (age 21.5 ±3.7 years, body mass 69.7 ± 13.2 kg and height 167.8 ± 11.9 cm) were recruited to participatein this study.Results: Pain pressure threshold values were significantly decreased after second,third, and fourth days of female tennis players (except KTG; p=0.076, p=0.029, p=0.018respectively). Also, values of pain pressure threshold was significantly decreased second,third and fourth days of male tennis players (except KTG; p=0.128, p=0.023, p=0.001respectively). Dominant handgrip strength values were significantly reduced after second,third, and fourth days of female tennis players (except KTG p=0.066, p=0.031, p=0.016respectively). Besides, values of handgrip strength was significantly decreased second, thirdand fourth days of male tennis players (except KTG p=0.058, p=0.012, p=0.012 respectively).Conclusions: Our findings indicate that the application of kinesio taping on the wristextensors, extensor carpi radialis brevis and longus muscles have an effect on dominantmuscle strength and pain pressure threshold without placebo effect. |
