ABSTRACT. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of Kinesio taping (KT) in inhibiting fatigue and preserving dynamic balance. Male recreational athletes were recruited to participate in this study. Participants were blinded from the group assignment and divided into four groups (Group A; KT and fatigue, Group B; no tape and fatigue, Group C; KT and no fatigue and Group D; no tape and no fatigue) using sequentially opaque, sealed envelopes. Pre and post measurements of Modified Star Excursion Balance Test ( SEBT ) composite score and normalized reach distance were used to measure dynamic balance. Adapted Functional Agility Short Term Fatigue Protocol (FAST-FP) was used to induce fatigue. KT was applied to rectus femoris, biceps femoris and medial gastrocnemius of the dominant leg. There was a significant change in the SEBT composite score between groups over time (p<0.05) and in time effect (p<0.05). The main effect comparing the SEBT composite score between the group was not significant (p=0.16). Group A (90.10±9.40) and Group B (86.14±10.50) attained lower mean for SEBT composite score compared to Group C (97.30±10.83) and Group D (98.13±9.47) suggests that fatigue have a diminishing effect on dynamic balance. KT application inhibit the effects of fatigue and preserved lateral and posterior direction of SEBT. KT application may lower the risk for injuries in the lateral and posterior directions following fatigue induction. Key words: dynamic balance, fatigue, Kinesio Taping, Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) (Phys Ther Res 00: 00-00, 0000)A large volume of literature has reported the high prevalence of sport-related injuries worldwide [1][2][3] . The most common injury site is the lower limb, and 23%-67% accounted for the knee 1,2) . Fatigue has been found to increase the risk of injury 4) . Fatigue is defined as decreased ability of the muscle to contract and exert a force that develops gradually soon after the onset of the sustained physical activity 5,6) . One of the consequences of fatigue is that it reduces the skill-related physical fitness component such as balance 7 ) and agility 8 ) and strength 4,7 ) which consequently impaired sports performance 9) . Dynamic balance has been well established as a vital component of fitness among athletes such as gymnasts, footballer, golfer, ice-hockey players, rifle shooter and taekwondo practitioners 10,11) . It has been shown that possessing good dynamic balance not only reduces the risk of injuries 12 ) but would increase sports performance 10 ) . Unfortunately, these advantages may be limited after fatigue 12) . Dynamic balance is defined as the ability to maintain the stability of the center of mass during movement 13 ) . Biomechanical deviations of the lower extremity occur during movement of the center of mass away from the base of support 14) . Balance is gained by maintaining equilibrium in a gravitational field and the ability to react quickly yet efficiently manners toward destabilizing forces to regain stability via postural adjustments...

“…(9) Quando avaliado o desempenho, uma pesquisa com 61 participantes, foi avaliado que os efeito do KT sobre a resistência, o fluxo de sangue, a circunferência, e o volume do músculo gastrocnê-mio, onde observaram não houve melhora na função anaeróbica e também não afetou a circulação do músculo. (15) Quanto à força muscular um estudo com 14 padelistas não registrou diferença estatisticamente significativa no que se refere à força isométrica máxima de preensão manual após a utilização do KT.

ResumoIntrodução: Várias técnicas dentro do campo da reabilitação desportiva são utilizadas nos processos, entre elas o kinesio taping® (KT). Trata-se de uma fita elástica que pode ser aplicada em uma variedade de terapias para redução de edema, controle da dor, inibição e facilitação da atividade motora. Objetivo: Realizar um levantamento literário em bibliotecas internacionais sobre o KT e observar seus efeitos e indicações para sua aplicabilidade Na reabilitação no meio desportivo. Metodologia: O estudo é uma revisão de literatura, realizado no mês de dezembro de 2013. A pesquisa foi realizada nos bancos de dados da Medline via Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e EBSCOhost, Lilacs via BVS, Scielo, e E-Journals via EBSCOhost. Foram utilizados os descritores: "Kinesio" e "Taping". Resultados: A pesquisa inicial resultou em 53 artigos encontrados. Após o refinamento dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão restaram 25 artigos. Foram encontrados sete artigos relacionados a desempenho de força e potência muscular, quatro sobre problemas na cintura escapular, quatro sobre desordens no joelho, dois sobre enfermidades no tornozelo, três sobre aplicação do KT na coluna, três revisões e duas referências sobre dor muscular e articular. Conclusão: Na área traumato-ortopédica os dados favorecem a sua aplicabilidade na prevenção e reabilitação da prática desportiva. Com bons resultados na dor principalmente nos momentos imediatos após a aplicação. Os estudos mostramse controversos em relação ao ganho de força, porém quando avaliados as atividades funcionais os artigos demonstram resultados satisfatórios. Com isso novos trabalhos utilizando metodologias mais detalhadas, elaboradas e padronizadas devem ser realizados no futuro.

Objective: Exercise is recommended to increase venous refilling time and for restoring the calf muscle pump in chronic venous insufficiency. Several researchers reported positive results on efficacy of kinesiotape application in chronic venous insufficiency. The present study is designed to investigate the efficacy of kinesiotape application when combined to a calf exercise program in patients with chronic venous insufficiency. Material and Methods: A total of 51 patients were included in the study. Participants were randomly divided into three groups. Visual analog pain scale and visual analog general health scale eval--uations, and ankle joint range of motion and isokinetic muscle strength measurements were performed before the treatment. Interventions regarding the groups were as follows: Group 1; the exercise program alone, Group 2; kinesiotape application combined with the exercise program, Group 3; the exercise program with pseudo kinesiotape application. The measurements were repeated four weeks following the interventions. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the demographic data of the patients (p>0.05). In all three groups, the visual analog pain scale scores decreased and the vi--sual analog general health scale scores increased (p˂0.05). The decreasing visual analog pain scale scores in groups 2 and 3 were statistically higher than that of group 1 (p˂0.05). There was no change in the range of motion of the ankle joints after treatment (p˃0.05). Isokinetic plantar muscle strength was increased significantly in all three groups (p˂0.05). However, muscle strength and total work values of Group 2 patients were significantly higher than the other two groups (p˂0.05). Conclusion: Calf exercises are effective in decreasing the symptoms of chronic venous insuffici--ency. This effect can be augmented by kineosiotape application.
