The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Kinesio tape (KT) versus placebo tape (PT) on the isometric shoulder elevation strength of college female athletes. A randomized, single-blind, crossover design divided eleven athletes (18-22 yrs. old) into two groups. Group 1 received the KT first, while Group 2 received the PT first; one week later, the groups were reversed. Each participant performed three isometric shoulder elevation trials, initially without tape, followed 5-10 minutes later by three trials after taping. Participants then wore each tape for three days before being retested in the same manner as before. Statistical analysis found no significant difference (p = 0.37) between the KT and PT trials. Shoulder strength was significantly greater after three days for both tape techniques. It does not appear that KT makes a significant difference in shoulder strength performance in female athletes.
