The Effects Of Ankle Taping On Measures Of Ground Reaction Forces And Jump Height During A Sport-Specific Vertical Jump In Youth Basketball Players, Michelle Pratola, Paolo Sanzo
The Effects Of Ankle Taping On Measures Of Ground Reaction Forces And Jump Height During A Sport-Specific Vertical Jump In Youth Basketball Players, Michelle Pratola, Paolo Sanzo
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 16(6): 898-911, 2023. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ankle taping using zinc oxide tape versus no tape to measure ground reaction forces (GRF) and vertical jump height during a sport-specific vertical jump test in youth basketball players. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling and completed a basketball specific vertical jump test with and without zinc oxide tape. Mean sway velocity, 95% ellipse area, and path length were measured using the AMTI© force platform and vertical jump height using a Vertec© device. A paired t-test with a significance level of …
The Effect Of Joint Versus Soft Tissue Flossing On Overall Performance In The Lower Extremities, Emily Bray
The Effect Of Joint Versus Soft Tissue Flossing On Overall Performance In The Lower Extremities, Emily Bray
Undergraduate Theses and Capstone Projects
Effective warm-up routines result in a reduction in muscle soreness post-exercise, a lessened risk of injury, and an enhanced performance output ability. Existing research has shown promising effects of muscle tissue flossing, a novel method of warming up in which a latex band is used to apply pressure to a specific area in the body. The purpose of this study was to determine how active college students respond to flossing applied to both a joint as well as soft tissue in the lower extremities, focusing on the ankle joint and calf muscle. Floss bands were applied bilaterally for each of …
