Brief Summary

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

The aim of the research is to evaluate the effects of tool-assisted soft tissue mobilization and kinesiology tape applications applied to the Hamstring muscle on balance, agility and jumping in athletics athletes.

Detailed Description

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

Participants will be divided into 3 groups. Kinesiology taping will be applied to the 1st group, and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization will be applied to the 2nd group. The 3rd group will be the control group and no application will be made. All 3 groups will participate in regular training. Before training, applications will be made to the Hamstring muscle on both legs. All 3 groups will be evaluated before, after and 1 month after training, and the 1st and 2nd groups will be evaluated by comparing them with the 3rd group (control group). A 15-minute warm-up period will be given before the measurements. During the post-application measurements, the 1st group will have Kinesiological Taping. There will be 3-minute rest periods between measurements to prevent fatigue. Kinesiology taping; In order to facilitate the muscle, while the subject is standing and his body is flexed to ensure hip flexion, both "I" bands will be applied from the origin to the insertion, with 30% stretching from the medial and lateral, starting from the Ischial Tuberositas to the border of the Popliteal Fossa. Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization; The subject is in a prone position on a bed, with the lower extremity in a neutral position, and a hazelnut-sized amount of lubricant will be applied to the working surface, and will be applied to the skin on the back of the upper leg for 5 minutes, targeting the tissue structures. (Hamstring and deep fascia covering this muscle) The pressure and speed will be adjusted according to the tolerance of the subject so as not to cause pain. Participants will be administered the Unipedal Stance Test, Agility T-Test and Standing Long Jump Test.
