About this study
Official title: Does Kinesio Taping Affect Shooting Performance Acutely in Archery Athletes?
The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of KT on archery athletes' performance.
Read the detailed description
Archery is a sport that requires strength, endurance, stabilization, and coordination of the upper body and shoulder girdle muscles. Kinesio taping (KT), which increased in popularity with the use in the athletes in the 2008 summer Olympics, is commonly investigated in the literature. KT is claimed to reduce pain and edema, increase functional performance, joint position sense, and blood-lymph flow, provide stability, and improve range of motion, flexibility, and strength. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of KT on archery athletes' performance.
