Brief Summary

Objective: The general objective of this study is to determine the possible beneficial effect of the application of kinesiotaping, as well as the performance of proprioceptive exercises on parameters related to knee stability, such as the incidence of injuries, pain, static stability Or dynamics, and flexibility, in amateur soccer players, with a workload of 3 days per week plus the match.

Material and methods: Amateur soccer players are divided into 3 groups.

Group 1 (G1) performs proprioceptive exercises plus the application of kinesiotaping without tension in the knee.

Group 2 (G2) performs proprioceptive exercises plus the application of kinesiotaping with tension in the knee.

Group 3 (G3) is placed kinesiotaping with tension in the knee, without proprioception exercises.

The treatment will last four weeks and three evaluations, one before treatment, another at two weeks and the last one at the end of treatment.
