The Effect of Kinesio Taping and Russian Current on Muscle Fatigue Index ofQuadriceps Femoris during High Intensity Exercise

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of highintensity exercise with kinesio taping and Russian current stimulation on the fatigue of the quadriceps muscles. Methods 60 healthy adults(male : 18, female : 42) in their twenties in C University located in Busan were participated in this study. Participants randomly allocated into a kinesio taping group (20 people), Russian current group (20 people), the control group (20 people). To induce fatigue in the quadriceps muscle, they performed squat exercises 100 times with kinesio taping, Russian current respectively. The surface EMG was used to measure quadriceps muscle fatigue index. Results After exercise, median frequency was significantly increased on vastus medialis muscle in kinesio taping group(p<0.05). But, there was no significant difference in other two groups. And, there was no significant difference in median frequency among the groups. Conclusion As a result, when the high intensity exercise was performed with the kinesio taping, there was less muscle fatigue in the vastus medialis muscle. Therefore, the kinesio taping application could affect on muscle fatigue during highintensity exercise.
