Brief Summary: In this study involving adolescent individuals who play basketball we will investigate the effect of kinesio taping Kinesio taping can be applied with appropriate technique and tension to reduce pain swelling and muscle spasms as well as to correct mechanical issues In this study researchers will apply kinesio taping to the ankle and knee and thes assess its impact on balance agility and jumping performance through various tests Specifically researchers will conduct the star balance test for balance the T-test for agility and the vertical jump test for jumping performance researchers plan to carry out this research with 30 participants at the Dev Ataşehir Sports Club to gather the necessary data
Detailed Description: Basketball is a physically demanding and high-paced sport that requires balance strength stability and agility Kinesio taping a method commonly used in athlete health where physiotherapists are involved will be examined for its effect on the lower extremities of young basketball players Kinesio tape allows for approximately 50-60 elongation of its own length and has a thickness similar to that of the epidermis layer of the skin It can be applied with appropriate technique and tension to reduce pain swelling and muscle spasms as well as to correct mechanical issues In this study researchers aimed to investigate the effect of kinesio taping on adolescent male basketball players Kinesio taping will be applied to two different areas the ankle and knee regions The overall goal of this application is to increase stability and balance The results of the applied tests will be evaluated The effects of kinesio taping on balance agility and jumping performance in basketball players will be examined In the research parameters of balance agility and jumping performance will be examined Researchers have specific tests for these parameters including the Star Balance Test for balance the T-Agility Test for agility and the Vertical Jump Test for jumping performance In the Star Balance Test lines are drawn on the ground The individual stands on their dominant foot and reaches out with the tip of the contralateral foot to touch these lines and points are recorded In the T-Agility Test a course is set up and the participant is asked to complete it as quickly as possible with time being recorded

As implied by its name cones are placed in a T-shape for the T-Agility Test and the individual is required to touch the cones and return to the starting point as quickly as possible In the Vertical Jump Test the individual is asked to jump as high as possible against a wall-mounted ruler and the highest point reached is recorded The Kinesio tape used in the study is designed to reflect the characteristics of the skin and allow for approximately 55-60 elongation of its original length These tests are first conducted without Kinesio tape and then repeated with Kinesio tape applied Rest intervals are provided between tests

All participants will be asked to fill out a sociodemographic form and a consent form
