Abstract

INTRODUCTION
The purpose was to compare the repetition frequency, EMG responses of iEMG and MPF according to Kinesio taping during bench press 10-RM, and to analyse the effects of Kinesio taping.
METHODS
The subjects were consisted of 14 college men, and bench press 10-RM was measured. The subjects participated Non-taping 10-RM without Kinesio taping, Taping 10-RM, and Taping Max-RM with Kinesio taping. The Kinesio taping was applied by the methods of Kho(2002), and Uh(2001). Paired t-test and repeated ANOVA were applied.
RESULTS
The repetition frequency of Taping Max-RM was increased about 25% than that of Non-taping 10-RM(p<.01). There were significant differences among iEMG of Non-taping 10-RM, Taping 10-RM, and Taping Max-RM on pectorialis major(p<.05). However there were no significant differences among iEMG of Non-taping 10-RM, Taping 10-RM, and Taping Max-RM on triceps brachii. In case of MPF, there were no significant difference among Non-taping 10-RM, Taping 10-RM, and Taping Max-RM on left pectorialis major and both left and right triceps brachii.
CONCLUSION
The repetition frequency was increased about 25% in case of Kinesio taping. iEMG of Taping 10-RM on left pectorialis major was lower than that of Non-taping 10-RM even with the same physics work. There were no significant differences among iEMG of Non-taping 10-RM and Taping Max-RM even repetition frequency was increased, in case of taping. However, MPF related with muscle fatigue factor was shown even though no significant difference depend on the using of taping except right pectorialis major. The responses of MPF were different from iEMG was depended on taping. Kinesio taping usage increased repetition frequency, reduced iEMG in some muscles during 10-RM on some muscles. There was no significant difference in iEMG even with the difference of maximum repetition. However, MPF wasn't effected by the usage of taping.
