Brief Summary: This study investigated the immediate effects of Kinesio taping on muscular power, strength, endurance, and lower limb fatigue when taping is applied to rectus femoris and around the patella of obese adults based on Kinesio taping techniques.
Detailed Description: This is a randomized, double-blind, crossover, and clinical trial. Ethical approval was obtained from the University's Institutional Review Board (#2015-51). Participants were recruited by flyers posted on the University campus. Informed consent was completed by all participants prior to the study procedures. The subjects were obese college students. A total of 13 subjects, four males and nine females (mean age of 24.38 ± 3.01 years, mean percent body fat of 39.10 ± 6.91 % \[male: 41.93 ± 7.47 %, female: 38.16 ± 6.91 %\]), were enrolled this study. All subjects underwent three different trials which include no taping (NT), placebo taping (PT), and Kinesio taping (KT). All individuals were assessed for peak and mean power, muscular strength, endurance, and muscle fatigue after each condition.
