Brief summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of IQ-Tape, Kinesiotaping and no Taping on muscle activity during daily activity and sport activity.

Interventions

DEVICEIQ-Tape

RMS-values of leg muscles at pre-activation (50ms) before ground-contact and post-activation 0-30ms and 30 - 150ms after ground-contact during drop-jump, running and stair climbing.

DEVICEKinesiotape

RMS-values of leg muscles at pre-activation (50ms) before ground-contact and post-activation 0-30ms and 30 - 150ms after ground-contact during drop-jump, running and stair climbing.

OTHERNo-Tape

RMS-values of leg muscles at pre-activation (50ms) before ground-contact and post-activation 0-30ms and 30 - 150ms after ground-contact during drop-jump, running and stair climbing.
