Aim: This study aimed to investigate the acute effect of kinesio taping applied to athletes and sedentary individuals on vertical and horizontal jumping performances.
Methods: The study included 20 licensed male basketball players and 20 male sedentary individuals between the ages of 18-25. Vertical jump height and horizontal jump distance were evaluated.
Free jumping and squat jumping tests were applied to measure the vertical jump height. Single leg hop test was chosen for the measurement of horizontal jump distance. Single leg hop test was performed with the dominant foot. Tests after kinesio taping were performed 10 minutes after facilitation technique was applied to gastrocnemius muscle.
Results: A comparison of the pre- and post-taping data in the athlete group revealed a significant increase in both squat jump and single leg hop tests (p<0.05). In the sedentary group, there was a significant increase only in the single leg hop test compared to before taping (p<0.05). All pretest and posttest values of the athlete group were higher than the sedentary group (p>0.05). In terms of the performance increases after kinesio taping, the increases in the athlete group were higher for all tests compared to the sedentary group (p>0.05).
Conclusions: Our study revealed that kinesio taping can improve jumping performance in both athletes and sedentary individuals. We think that kinesio taping could improve the performance especially in sports where jumping movements are frequently used such as basketball.

Sporcu ve Sedanter Bireylerde Gastrocnemius Kasına Uygulanan Kinezyo Bantlamanın Sıçrama Performansına Akut Etkisi

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma, sporcu ve sedanter bireylere uygulanan kinezyo bantlamanın dikey ve yatay sıçrama performanslarına akut etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır.
Materyal-Metot: Çalışmaya 18-25 yaş aralığında lisanslı 20 erkek basketbolcu ile 20 erkek sedanter birey dahil edilmiş ve dikey sıçrama yüksekliği ve yatay sıçrama mesafesi değerlendirilmiştir. Dikey sıçrama yüksekliğini ölçmek için tek ayak üzerinde yapılan serbest sıçrama ve squat sıçrama testleri uygulanmıştır. Yatay sıçrama mesafesinin ölçümü için single leg hop testi seçilmiştir. Tek ayağın kullanıldığı testler dominant ayak ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Kinezyo bantlama sonrası testler gastrocnemius kasına fasilitasyon tekniği uygulandıktan 10 dk sonra yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: Sporcu grupta bantlama öncesi ile sonrası veriler karşılaştırıldığında hem squat sıçrama hem de single leg hop testlerinde anlamlı artış gözlendi (p<0.05). Sedanter grupta bantlama öncesine göre sadece single leg hop testinde anlamlı artış vardı (p<0.05). Sporcu grubunun tüm ön test ve son test değerleri sedanter gruba göre daha yüksekti (p>0,05). Kinezyo bantlama sonrası performans artışları açısından sporcu grubundaki artışlar tüm testlerde sedanter gruba göre daha yüksekti (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Çalışmamız, kinezyo bantın hem sporcularda hem de sedanterlerde sıçrama performansını artırabileceğini ortaya koymuştur. Özellikle basketbol gibi sıçrama hareketinin fazlaca kullanıldığı sporlarda kinezyo bantlamanın performansa etki edeceğini düşünüyoruz.
