|a The purpose of this study was to determine if a closed basket weave ankle taping decreases running speed in college athletes. It also identified if there is a difference in running speed when using stretch tape for the heel locks and figure eights in lieu of 1.5-inch white tape. Finally, this study identified the differences in range of motion between the two types of tape. Twenty-eight participants took part in the study. Each participant had three conditions of sprinting, baseline, white tape, and stretch tape applications for a closed basket weave ankle tape. A repeated measures MANOVA was performed to determine statistical significance with three conditions: baseline application (BL), white tape application (WT), and stretch tape application (ST). Results indicate that both white tape (p<0.001) and stretch tape (p<0.001) significantly decreased bilateral ankle plantar flexion and dorsiflexion. White tape also significantly increases sprint time (p=0.004) when applied whereas stretch tape did not have a significant increase on sprint time (p>0.05). When white tape was compared to stretch tape, the decrease in ankle range of motion was significantly greater in white tape than stretch tape (p<0.001) but did not significantly increase sprint time (p>0.05). It can be concluded that if support is needed for the ankle joint then white tape should be chosen over stretch tape. White tape provides significantly greater support than stretch tape but does not inhibit sprinting performance significantly more than stretch tape. Whichever taping application is used, the athlete will be slower than without tape. Even though sprint time using stretch tape was not significantly slower than no tape, it is not significantly faster than white tape. Therefore, if ankle support is required, white tape is suggested to provide the greatest support and protection for the ankle joint. |
