Abstract

The use of Kinesio Taping has been reported to increase muscle power and strength, especially quadriceps femoris muscle, the great extensor of the leg. This research examines the effect of Kinesio Taping on quadriceps femoris muscle power and strength in non-athlete adult males. This research is quasi experimental design, involving 30 non-athlete adult males aged 18-22 years old . Muscle power is examined by using Margaria-KalamenPower Test, and muscle strength by using Isometric Leg Strength Test before, 20 minutes and 24 hours after using Kinesio Taping. The data is analyzed by using paired t test. The result shows that muscle power difference between 20 minutes and before using KinesioTaping (196,62±150,67) watt are lower than muscle power difference between 24 hours and before using KinesioTaping (247,31±139,88)watt (p value <0,01). The result also shows that muscle strength difference between 20 minutes and before using KinesioTaping (26,74±10,26)kg shows lower than muscle strength difference between 24 hours and before using KinesioTaping(30,26±9,99)kg(p value <0,01). KinesioTaping increases quadriceps femoris muscle power and strength 24 hours after better than 20 minutes after using in non-athlete adult males.
