Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The study involved 12 players participating in the Saudi Universities Sports Federation (SUSF) Futsal Championship. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: an experimental group receiving kinesiology tape intervention and a control group with no intervention. The intervention was conducted over 30 days, with a focus on assessing the impact of kinesiology tape on the dominant leg, targeting key muscles like the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis.
To ensure comprehensive evaluation, participants underwent assessments using validated tools for lower limb function, isometric strength, and dynamic strength (eccentric/concentric). These tools included the Single-Leg Hop Test, a hand-held dynamometer, and the Biodex System, which provided precise and reliable measurements of muscle performance.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental Arm: Kinesiology Tape Intervention
Description: Participants in this arm received kinesiology tape applied to the dominant leg targeting the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis muscles. The tape was applied with a 50% tension level and remained in place for 30 days. Assessments of quadriceps strength and lower limb function were conducted pre- and post-intervention.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of kinesiology tape on quadriceps muscle performance.
Kinesiology Tape Application
Application Area: Applied specifically to the dominant leg, targeting the rectus femoris, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis muscles.
Tension Level: Applied with a standardized 50% tension. Duration: The tape was kept in place continuously for 30 days. Color: A blue-colored kinesiology tape was used to standardize the intervention and eliminate potential psychological effects of tape color.
Technique: Applied by a licensed physical therapist with expertise in kinesiology taping techniques, certified by the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties.
Control Arm: No Intervention
Description: Participants in this arm did not receive any kinesiology tape or similar interventions. Their quadriceps strength and lower limb function were assessed at the same intervals as the experimental group for comparison purposes.
Purpose: To serve as a baseline to compare the effects of the kinesiology tape intervention.
