Taping for jump performance: The effects of various knee taping techniques on a drop jump
The knee taping conditions showed minor kinematic changes to the ankle, knee, and hip joint angles. Further, the kinetics revealed that KT showed the most improvement in reactive strength performance, having the highest GRF, contributing to SCC efficiency, and the shortest GCT, yielding the highest RSI. This suggests that KT on the knee may contribute to reactive strength performance in a DJL.
