The Effect of Kinesiotaping on Sprint and Dynamic Balance in Children

"Y strip kinesiotaping will be applied to both the gastrocnemius muscles while keeping the participant's ankle in full dorsiflexion. The tape will start from the plantar surface of the toe and continue proximally. The medial Y tail will be applied along the medial border of the gastrocnemius and the lateral Y tail along the lateral border of the gastrocnemius, at approximately 20% tension from the resting length. End points will end just below the popliteal crease."

Placebo kinesiotaping, approximately 5x5 cm in size, will be applied to the body of both gastrocnemius muscles without any tension.
