The objective of this study wasto compare the effects of kinesiology taping between taping on gastrocnemius only and taping on both gastrocnemius and quadriceps muscle on jumping performance amongmale university’s athletes. Jumping performance were included of jumping height and jumping power. 30 male athletes of Mae FahLuang University who experienced in basketball, badminton, and volleyball were included to this study bypurposive sampling method. 4 taping conditions were applied to all participants in following conditions: 1) No tape, 2) Placebo taping 3) Taping only quadriceps muscle (KG), and 4) Taping on both quadriceps and gastrocnemius muscle (KGQ). Jumping performance were performed randomly. Participants were attempted to complete 3 jumps each condition and the best result was used to calculation. The difference between all taping conditions were observed by repeated measure ANOVA statistical analysis. Whereas, a multiple comparison, bonferroni post hoc, were applied when significant difference was found.The results of this study revealed that significant difference was foundbetween Placebo and KGQ taping conditions on jump height and power variables (p=0.015 and p=0.008, respectively).Application of kinesiotape on both major leg’s muscle, gastrocnemius and quadriceps, might be beneficial to increase jumping performance compared to single leg’s muscle group either gastrocnemius or quadriceps. However, athletic trainers or coach should consider a facilitation taping technique that could be maximizeathletic’s performance.
