| Abstract | Kinesio taping (KT) is used to enhance muscle performance and proprioception. However, its respiratory benefits remain unclear. Therefore, the present study examined the immediate effects of KT applied to inspiratory muscles on diaphragm movement, lung function, and aerobic capacity in healthy young males. Methods: Thirty seven healthy males were randomly assigned to the respiratory muscle taping (RMT) group (n=19) or control muscle taping (CMT) group (n=18). KT was applied to the diaphragm and accessory inspiratory muscles in the RMT group and nonrespiratory muscles in the CMT group. The diaphragm movement distance (DMD), maximal aerobic capacity (MAC), forced vital capacity (FVC), slow vital capacity (SVC), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), and maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) were measured before and after the intervention. Paired and independent t tests were used to perform within and between group comparisons. Results: The baseline characteristics did not differ between groups (p>.05). No significant prepost changes were observed in any variable for either group (p>.05). Moreover, postintervention comparisons showed no significant differences in DMD, MAC, FVC, SVC, MIP, or MEP between groups (p>.05). Conclusion: Short term KT on inspiratory muscles did not significantly improve diaphragm excursion, lung capacity, respiratory pressure, or aerobic performance in healthy young males. These findings suggest that KT has limited immediate respiratory benefits in this population, highlighting the need for longer intervention studies across diverse groups. | ||
