ABSTRACT

Introduction: The application of kinesiotaping has been commonly used for the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, it has been recognized its neurostimulatory mechanisms that could increase muscle strength; the evidence shown for this effect is not conclusive though.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of Kinesiotaping (KT) with and without tension on the muscular strength and endurance of the quadriceps in healthy subjects.
Methods: An experimental study was conducted randomized into two intervention groups, one application of tension KT and one without tension. The strength measurements were performed before and after application of therapeutic tape.
Results: No found changes on muscle strength and the endurance of group without tension, however, the strength on group with tension after application of the tape decreased (pre KT: 25 kg/f vs post KT: 23.18 kg/f; p<0,05.
Conclusion: KT facilitation technique applied on the quadriceps, it does not increase muscle strength and endurance. This suggests that there should be applied with objectives to improve these capabilities in healthy subjects.
