Effect Kinesio Taping on Acute-onset Muscle Soreness and Calf Muscle Extensibility Among Endurance Athletes
A study testing Kinesio Taping in people with Muscle Soreness, run by AMIR IQBAL at 1 site in Saudi Arabia.
Trial summary
In recent years, athletes have frequently utilized Kinesio tape (KT) to enhance their performance. Despite widespread use, data regarding its efficacy and mechanism of action is lacking among healthy endurance athletes. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Immediate Effect oF Kinesio Taping on Calf Soreness and Extensibility Among Endurance Athletes
In recent years, athletes have frequently utilized Kinesio tape (KT) to enhance their performance. Despite widespread use, data regarding its efficacy and mechanism of action is lacking among healthy endurance athletes. This study aims to determine the effect of KT application on acute-onset muscle soreness and the extensibility of the calf muscles in endurance athletes.
Read the detailed description
The study followed a single-blinded one-arm crossover repeated-measures randomized controlled design and included fifty-five endurance athletes (mean age, 16.40±2.69) from different stadia in Delhi, India. Outcome measures, including the ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ADFROM), were measured using a universal goniometer before, immediately after application of either KT or Sham tape, and after treadmill running. However, the pain due to acute-onset muscle soreness was measured using a numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) immediately, 10 min, and 30 min after treadmill running.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Kinesio TapingOther
Kinesio tape was applied over the calf muscle of either leg.
Sham TapingOther
The sham tape was applied over the calf muscle of either leg.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Kinesio Tape | Experimental | Kinesio Tape was applied over the Calf Muscle on Either leg. Receives: Other: Kinesio Taping |
| Sham Tape | Sham comparator | Sham Tape was applied over the Calf Muscle on Either leg. Receives: Other: Sham Taping |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS)
NPRS was used to measure the level of pain. NPRS measures pain from a scale of zero to Ten where zero represent No pain and Ten represent maximum pain. Greater the score worse the pain.
Measured: 1 Day
Range of Motion
Ankle active Dorsiflexion Range of Motion (ADFROM) was measured by a standard Goniometer.
Measured: 1 Day
