Brief Summary

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

This study aims to evaluate the acute effect of neuromuscular taping applied to the forearm on maximal grip strength, pressure pain threshold, and muscle oxygenation in healthy university athletes after exercise. Using a randomized controlled trial design, the study aims to provide rigorous evidence that will help clarify the potential benefits of Neuromuscular Taping (NMT) in a sports context. The relevance of this research lies in providing useful information for health and sports professionals, facilitating informed decision-making regarding the use of this technique in daily practice. A randomized controlled trial will be conducted, with participants divided into four groups: two experimental groups, one placebo group, and one control group. One experimental group will receive NMT with proximal-to-distal tension, while the other will receive distal-to-proximal tension. The placebo group will receive NMT without tension, and the control group no NMT application.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants are divided into four groups: two experimental groups, one placebo group, and one control group. One experimental group receives NMT with proximal-to-distal tension, while the other receives distal-to-proximal tension. The placebo group receives NMT without tension, and the control group receives no NMT.
