About this study
Official title: Effects of Diaphragmatic Kinesio Taping-Assisted HIIT Exercises on Aerobic Capacity, Anaerobic Capacity, and Balance in Trained Individuals
This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether diaphragmatic kinesio taping provides additional physiological and functional benefits when added to an 8-week supervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program in trained adults. Participants were randomly assigned to HIIT with or without diaphragmatic kinesio taping. Both groups completed the same supervised cycle-ergometer HIIT program three times per week for 8 weeks. Assessments were performed at baseline, week 4, and week 8 and included heart-rate variability, aerobic capacity, anaerobic performance, pulmonary function, balance, functional mobility, and body composition.
Read the detailed description
This randomized controlled trial investigated the additional effects of diaphragmatic kinesio taping during an 8-week supervised cycle-ergometer HIIT program in trained adults. Participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to HIIT plus diaphragmatic kinesio taping or the same HIIT program without taping. Both groups trained three times per week. High-intensity intervals targeted 85-95% of maximum heart rate, with active recovery at 55-65% of maximum heart rate. Both groups also performed standardized diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing exercises as part of each supervised session.
Outcomes were assessed at baseline, week 4, and week 8. Assessments included resting heart-rate variability, spirometry, estimated maximal oxygen uptake, Wingate anaerobic performance, static and dynamic balance, timed up-and-go performance, and body composition. The study was conducted at Bursa Uludag University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Physiology.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)Behavioural
Participants completed an 8-week supervised cycle-ergometer HIIT programme three times per week. Each session included 5 min of cycling at 50-60% HRpeak, 5 min of controlled diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing, progressive high-intensity intervals targeting 85-95% HRpeak with active recovery at 55-65% HRpeak, followed by 5 min of low-intensity cycling and 5 min of breathing exercises.
Diaphragmatic Kinesio TapingOther
Diaphragmatic kinesio taping was applied before each supervised exercise session using a standardized bilateral technique along the lower costal margin. The tape remained in place between supervised sessions and was removed and replaced at each subsequent visit. At week-4 and week-8 assessments, the tape was removed immediately before outcome testing.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| HIIT + Diaphragmatic Kinesio Taping | Experimental | Participants perform an 8-week HIIT program and receive diaphragmatic kinesio taping before each training session. Receives: Behavioral: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT); Other: Diaphragmatic Kinesio Taping |
| HIIT without taping | Active comparator | Participants completed the same 8-week supervised HIIT programme as the experimental group but did not receive diaphragmatic kinesio taping. Receives: Behavioral: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) |
What is being measured

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This randomized controlled trial evaluated whether diaphragmatic kinesio taping provides additional physiological and functional benefits when added to an 8-week supervised high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program in trained adults. Participants were randomly assigned to HIIT with or without diaphragmatic kinesio taping. Both groups completed the same supervised cycle-ergometer HIIT program three times per week for 8 weeks. Assessments were performed at baseline, week 4, and week 8 and included heart-rate variability, aerobic capacity, anaerobic performance, pulmonary function, balance, functional mobility, and body composition.
Detailed description
This randomized controlled trial investigated the additional effects of diaphragmatic kinesio taping during an 8-week supervised cycle-ergometer HIIT program in trained adults. Participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to HIIT plus diaphragmatic kinesio taping or the same HIIT program without taping. Both groups trained three times per week. High-intensity intervals targeted 85-95% of maximum heart rate, with active recovery at 55-65% of maximum heart rate. Both groups also performed standardized diaphragmatic and pursed-lip breathing exercises as part of each supervised session.
Outcomes were assessed at baseline, week 4, and week 8. Assessments included resting heart-rate variability, spirometry, estimated maximal oxygen uptake, Wingate anaerobic performance, static and dynamic balance, timed up-and-go performance, and body composition.
