Brief Summary

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

Muscle fatigue results in decreased ability in muscles to generate force. Kinesio Tape may reverse the adverse effects of fatigue. Thus this study will examine the acute effects of Kinesio tape on muscle fatigue.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The participants will be divided into three groups; 1. Experimental group: Kinesio tape with 50% tension will be applied; 2. Sham group: Kinesio tape without any tension will be applied; 3. Placebo group: Rigid tape without any tension will be applied.
