Effects of Kinesiotape or Neuromuscular Taping on the Activation of the Transversus Abdominis Muscle. A Pilot Study

The use of adhesive bandages is a widely practiced technique in both clinical and sports settings. There is a great variety of materials used for bandaging, with multiple objectives: limiting movement, correcting joint positions, reducing pain, enhancing sports performance, and reducing the number of injuries. However, current knowledge about their potential effects is still limited, and more studies are needed to determine the most appropriate application parameters. For this reason, the objective of the study for which we request your collaboration is to determine to what extent the application of an adhesive bandage (neuromuscular tape) can influence muscle facilitation through fiber recruitment and strength development, to improve performance during exercise. The information derived from this research will provide a better understanding of the influence that an adhesive bandage (neuromuscular tape) can have on the neuromuscular system and on strength enhancement.
