Brief Summary

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

The aim of this study is to examine the acute effects of kinesio taping applied to the gastrocnemius muscles of children enrolled in soccer school on sprint and dynamic balance.Children who meet the required criteria will be randomly placed in the kinesio taping and placebo groups by drawing lots. Dynamic balance and sprint abilities of the participants were evaluated before and immediately after taping. Y Balance Test will be used to evaluate dynamic balance. Measurements were taken in the anterior, posteromedial and posterolateral directions of the right and left sides.10 m and 20 m sprint tests will be used to assess speed ability. In-group and between-group comparisons will be analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program and appropriate tests.

Study Groups

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

Kinesiotaping Group

Y strip kinesiotaping will be applied to both the gastrocnemius muscles with approximately 20% tension.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Kinesiotaping

Intervention Type OTHER

Y strip kinesiotaping will be applied to both the gastrocnemius muscles while keeping the participant's ankle in full dorsiflexion. The tape will start from the plantar surface of the toe and continue proximally. The medial "Y" tail will be applied along the medial border of the gastrocnemius and the lateral "Y" tail along the lateral border of the gastrocnemius, at approximately 20% tension from the resting length. End points will end just below the popliteal crease.

Placebo Group

Placebo kinesiotaping, approximately 5x5 cm in size, will be applied to the body of both gastrocnemius muscles without any tension.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo Kinesiotaping

Intervention Type OTHER

Placebo kinesiotaping, approximately 5x5 cm in size, will be applied to the body of both gastrocnemius muscles without any tension.
