Healthy subjects.

Interventions

Intervention 1: Kinesio tape (Kinesio tape is one of the supportive-therapeutic modalities in the filed of physiotherapy and sport physiotherapy. Kinesio tape is a elastic fabric that will be applied

Treatment - Other

Fatigue status (The fatigue protocol will include 5 sets of heel rise to the rhythm of a metronome (40 beeps/min). Sets will be separated with a 20-second walk as an active rest.)

Without kinesio tape

Fatigue free status

Kinesio tape (Kinesio tape is one of the supportive-therapeutic modalities in the filed of physiotherapy and sport physiotherapy. Kinesio tape is a elastic fabric that will be applied on the skin.)

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Jump height (One of the variables related to the jump performance). Timepoint: Before fatigue (with and without kinesio tape on gastrocnemius muscle) and after fatigue (with and without kinesio tape on gastrocnemius muscle). In a single session. Method of measurement: Force plate, Vertical component of ground reaction force.;Stiffness (One of the variables related to the viscoelastic characteristics of musculoskeletal system). Timepoint: Before fatigue (with and without kinesio tape on gastrocnemius muscle) and after fatigue (with and without kinesio tape on gastrocnemius muscle). In a single session. Method of measurement: Force plate, Mass-Spring-Damper Model.;Damping (One of the variables related to the viscoelastic characteristics of musculoskeletal system). Timepoint: Before fatigue (with and without kinesio tape on gastrocnemius muscle) and after fatigue (with and without kinesio tape on gastrocnemius muscle). In a single session. Method of measurement: Force plate, Mass-Spring-Damper Model.;Jump power (One of the variables related to the jump performance). Timepoint: Before fatigue (with and without kinesio tape on gastrocnemius muscle) and after fatigue (with and without kinesio tape on gastrocnemius muscle). In a single session.
