Objectives: This study aims to investigate the temporal effects of two Kinesio Taping (KT) techniques on lateral gastrocnemius muscle activity, motor neuron excitability, and countermovement jump height in university athletes from hockey, football, basketball, and volleyball. Additionally, it investigates whether the athletes' playing positions-either attacker or defender-influence these outcomes following the KT application.

Methods: Forty-eight subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups: Group A (n = 16), Group B (n = 16), and Group C (n = 16).

Article Synopsis
  • The study explored how a six-week core training program affects swimming performance and neuromuscular properties in young male swimmers.
  • Eighteen swimmers were split into two groups: one did core training alongside regular swimming, while the control group only maintained their usual training.
  • Results showed significant improvements for the core training group, including faster 50m swim times and enhanced neuromuscular metrics compared to the control group.
