Purpose:
Balance has an important role in taekwondo athletes for injury
prevention and athletic performance. Many strategies are being developed to
improve balance. The kinesiotape application is also one of these methods. The
aim of the study is to determine the effect of the kinesiotape application to
the hip abductor muscles on the single leg balance in elite athletes.

Methods:
The study was conducted with 53 (28 study group, 25 control group) elite
taekwondo athletes in the national team camp who did not have a lower extremity
injury. The athletes were performed two balance tests at 48-hour intervals. In the balance tests,
oscillations of the center of gravity of the athletes was calculated.
Kinesiotape (KT) application was made to the hip abductor muscles of the
study group athletes after the first measurement of the balance. The second
measurement of balance was made 48-hour after the KT application.

Results:
As a result of the analysis of the obtained data, no statistically
significant difference was found between Total Score, Anterior-Posterior (A-P)
Score and Medial-Lateral (M-L) Score between first and second balance tests of the
study and the control groups (p> 0.05).

Conclusion: In conclusion, it was determined that KT application
to hip abductor muscles did not effect to single leg balance in healthy elite
taekwondo athletes.

Amaç: Denge, taekwondo sporcularının sportif performansında ve
yaralanmalardan korunmasında önem taşımaktadır. Dengeyi geliştirmek için
çeşitli stratejiler geliştirilmektedir. Kinezyoteyp uygulaması da bu
yöntemlerden biridir. Çalışmanın amacı kalça abdüktor kas grubuna yapılacak
kinezyoteyp uygulamasının elit sporcularda tek ayak denge becerisine etkisini
tespit etmektir.

Yöntem: Çalışma, milli takım kampında olan ve alt ekstremite
yaralanma öyküsü bulunmayan 53 (28 kişi kontrol grubu, 25 kişi denek grubu)
elit taekwondo sporcusu ile yapıldı. Çalışma grubunun ikinci ölçümü öncesinde
deneklerin kalça abdüktör kas grubuna kinezyoteyp uygulaması yapıldı. Sporculara 48 saatlik
aralıklarla iki denge testi uygulandı. Denge testlerinde sporcuların ağırlık merkezi salınımları
hesaplandı. Çalışma
grubundaki sporcuların kalça abdüktör kaslarına ilk denge ölçümünden sonra
Kinesiotape (KT) uygulaması yapıldı. İkinci denge ölçümü KT uygulamasından 48
saat sonra yapıldı.

Sonuçlar: Elde edilen verilerin analizi sonucunda çalışma ve
kontrol grubunun ilk ve ikinci denge testleri arasında total skor, A-P skor ve
M-L skorlarda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olmadığı tespit edildi
(p>0.05).

Tartışma: Çalışmanın sonuçlarına bakıldığında kalça abdüktör kas
grubuna uygulanan kinezyoteyp uygulamasının sağlıklı elit taekwondo
sporcularında dengeye etkisi bulunmadığı tespit edildi.
