About

The aim of our study is to compare the effects of foam roller plus dynamic stretching and kinesiotape plus dynamic stretching on performance parameters,pain and fatigue in football players. The results of our study will show the effects of the best choice between applications and help to reduce waste of time.

Full description

The aim of our study is to compare the effects of foam roller plus dynamic stretching and kinesiotape plus dynamic stretching on performance parameters,pain and fatigue in football players. The results of our study will show the effects of the best choice between applications and help to reduce waste of time. Performance parameters include; flexibility, dynamic reaction time, sprint and agility.

The hypotheses the investigators will test for this purpose; H1: Foam Roller application is more effective on performance parameters than Kinesiotape application. H2: Foam Roller application is more effective on pain than Kinesiotape application. H3: Foam Roller application is more effective on fatigue than Kinesiotape application.

18 participants in 2 patient groups

Foam roller

Experimental group

Description:

Individuals perform Foam roller on bilateral legs and the muscles include Quadriceps, hamstring and gastrocnemius and soleus with a dynamic warm up program The investigators conduct the test for 2 sets and 60 seconds with 30 seconds rest period per muscle

Treatment:

Other: Foam roller

Kinesiotape

Active Comparator group

Description:

Individuals perform Kinesiotape on bilateral legs and the muscles include Quadriceps, hamstring and gastrocnemius and soleus with a dynamic warm up program The investigators conduct the kinesiotape per muscle and will wait for 45 minutes for bring out the effects.

Treatment:

Other: Kinesiotape
