Abstract |
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to verify the effects of kinesio taping method on muscle fatigue of knee joint by applying kinesio taping using MedX and EMG. METHOD Subjects twenty Y-college judo athletes (male:10, female:10) were selected randomly. Analysis of median frequency muscular fatigue according to articulation genus extensor was made before and after kinesio taping. RESULT In male, although there was no statistical differences, decrease in median frequency at the 6˚ angle and increase in the 60˚ and 90˚ angle were shown. In female, there was a slight decrease in median frequency in the 6˚ and 60˚ angles(p<.05) but rather an increase in the 96˚ angle. In male, although there was no statistical differences, there was a decrease in mean frequency at the 6˚ and 96˚ angle, but rather an increase in the mean frequency of the 6˚ and 96˚ angle in analysis of mean frequency muscular fatigue. In female, there was a slight decrease in mean frequency in the 6˚ and 60˚ angles but no statistical difference. CONCLUSION Although there were slight differences for muscular fatigue of mean frequency between pre- & post-kinesio taping, significant differences was not indicated at all angles for both gender. |
