Background: Athletes encounter fatigue both in ordinary life and in sports. Fatigue can be defined as the reduced ability of a muscle to generate force during a contraction that gradually develops after the onset of prolonged physical activity.
The potential mechanisms of muscle fatigue include the accumulation of metabolites within the muscle and the generation of insufficient of motor commands from the motor cortex during the exercise. Severe muscle fatigue can significantly reduce sports performance and joint stability as well as increases risk of sports injury. Kinesio tape is becoming popular among athletes to improve their performance, especially after Olympic athletes started using it.
Methodology: There were total 50 participants 25 in each group. Group A was experimental group in which the kinesiotaping was done over calf muscle with 50% tension & in group B kinesiotaping with 0% tension was done. Pre and post heel rise test was done in both the groups. In both the groups kinesio taping with Y strip facilitatory technique is used.
Results: Mean and standard deviation for group A post 0 (10.56±2.96), post 5 (3.92±2.71) and group B post 0 (3.6±2.24) post 5 (2.28±1.37). P value is <0.0001 which is extremely significant.
Conclusion: The present study concludes that the Kinesio taping application with 50% tension has immediate as well as long term effects in reducing fatigability in calf muscle when compared to no tension Kinesio taping.
