Taping is a popular application among athletes that provides external support for injury prevention or during returning to sport ( 2). The ankle is one of the most injured body sections in many sports such as soccer, and ankle injuries compose about 25% of all sport-related injuries ( 1). Results: A significant difference was detected between applications concerning all the directions of SEBT (p0.05).Ĭonclusion: DT technique might be preferred for improving dynamic balance in soccer players however, none of the taping methods was found effective for enhancing lower extremity jumping performance. Jumping performance was assessed by using a single leg hop test and forward leap distances of the dominant foot were recorded. Dynamic balance was evaluated with the Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT). Taping techniques were performed in a randomized order with one-week intervals.

Materials and Methods: Twenty-four professional uninjured male soccer players were evaluated in four situations as no taping, placebo taping, kinesiologic-taping (KT), and dynamic-taping (DT). The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of different ankle taping techniques on dynamic balance and lower extremity jumping performance in professional soccer players. Objective: Different taping techniques are employed for improving functional performance.
