Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research is to determine if a specific type of elasticated athletic tape (Kinesio Tex Tape) increases muscle activation among professional level dancers. Investigators will determine if changes in muscle activation with the elasticated tape differ from changes experienced with no tape and/or sham tape, and if it coincides with subjective sense of muscle activation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

K Tape Group

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Airplane Test

Intervention Type OTHER

The airplane test requires the subject to bend forward, bringing the upper body and one leg horizontal, making a "T" position with the body with the arms out to the sides while in single-leg stance; they then bend the supporting leg, bringing the finger tips towards the floor, followed by straightening the supporting leg and bringing the arms back out to the sides. This motion is repeated five times on each leg per trial. The airplane will be performed to a metronome to standardize performance time

Sham Group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Airplane Test

Intervention Type OTHER

The airplane test requires the subject to bend forward, bringing the upper body and one leg horizontal, making a "T" position with the body with the arms out to the sides while in single-leg stance; they then bend the supporting leg, bringing the finger tips towards the floor, followed by straightening the supporting leg and bringing the arms back out to the sides. This motion is repeated five times on each leg per trial. The airplane will be performed to a metronome to standardize performance time

No Tape
