Abstract

Background: Soccer is a physical activity that requires good agility to run fast, dribble the ball, avoid opponents and guard opponents. Kinesio taping is used in rehabilitation, especially for the treatment and prevention of musculoskeletal system injuries, but there is not enough data in increasing the agility of soccer player. Methods: This study was a quasi-experimental with a pre-post test group design on 60 males aged 17-25 years who played recreational soccer. Subjects were divided into 2 groups consisting of intervention group (n = 30) and control group (n = 30). The intervention group received kinesio taping with a facilitation technique with a 35% pull on the quadriceps, gastrocnemius and soleus muscles, while the control group received sham, non-elastic adhesive tape on the same muscle group. Agility measurements were carried out before and after 30 minutes of intervention using the Agility T Test in both groups. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in the average agility score before intervention between the control group (11.38+0.83 seconds) and the treatment group (11.47+1.20 seconds) with p=0.7304. In control group, there was no statistically significant difference in the average agility score before (11.38+0.83 seconds) and after (11.40+0.79 seconds) the intevention (p=0.6184). In intervention group, there was a statistically significant difference in the average agility score before (11.47+1.20) and after (10.99+1.20) intervention (p=0.000). Discussion: The facilitation technique of kinesio taping increases muscle strength and muscle contraction leading to increased agility. Conclusion: Kinesio taping increase the agility of recreational soccer player.

Abstract

Background: A sedentary lifestyle can result in excessive fatigue. Aerobic exercise improves cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity, and fatigue. Cardiorespiratory exercise testing (CPET) is the most appropriate and effective tool for prescribing exercise programs. Objective: To compare the effect of exercise at an intensity above and below the anaerobic threshold (AT) on fatigue men with low activity. Methods: This study was an experimental single-blinded control trial with a pre-post design. There were 24 participants divided into two groups: group A (n = 12) received intensity training above the AT, and group B (n = 12) received intensity training below the AT. Both groups received treadmill aerobic exercises three times a week for 4 weeks. Fatigue levels were measured with the Fatigue Severity Scale questionnaire at the beginning and end of fourth week of intervention. Results: After four weeks, there was a significant improvement in fatigue levels in both the A group (p = 0.002) and the B group (p = 0.002). There was no statistically significant difference between the A group (-6.58 ± 5.62) and the B group (-4.67 ± 5.87) (p = 0.265). Conclusion: Both exercise intensity above and below the AT within 4 weeks showed improvement on fatigue level in men with low activity. Exercise intensity above AT was not superior compared to exercise intensity below AT in improving fatigue levels.
