Role Of Ankle Taping On Sport Ability And Protective Time Effective In Male Basketball Player

Objective:To investigate the effective of ankle taping in male basketball player, identify the protective role and duration of ankle taping on sport injury, facilitate the use of ankle taping.Participants:10 basketball players who are second grade sportsman with at least 5 years training experience.Investigation:The research involved three parts:Partâ… :Base on ankle closed-basket taping, the participants performed 10 meter running, vertical jump, approach run and jump under 4 difference conditions:(1)figure 8 taping with light tape, (2)figure 8 taping with elastic adhesive tape, (3)no figure 8 taping, (4)no taping. The effect of different taping approach and tape material were analyses by jump performance and agility testing. Result:No statistically difference in agility was observed compared with control group. For jumping task, either vertical jump or approach run and jump identified statistically difference (P<0.01) in figure 8 taping with light tape.Conclusion:These result suggested that ankle taping do not make a significant contribution to agility. Figure 8 taping with light tape restricted the jumping performance.Partâ…¡:Ankle passive reposition angle error, duration of single leg standing with eyes closed, dynamic balance testing were measured to identify the effect of different material taping to ankle proprioception and balance.Result:ankle reposition test failed to demonstrate significant alterations. Single leg standing with eyes closed prolonged with ankle taping (P<0.05) compared to the control condition. Dynamic balance ability improved after ankle taping (P<0.05).Conclusion:No significant change in ankle propriception as well as balance ability improved with ankle taping.Partâ…¢:To identify the role of taping to ankle restriction, find out the point when taping ineffective, ankle active and passive ROM was measured before, after and every 10 minutes of taping with image maker method.Result:Ankle range of motion reduced after taping compared with control condition (P<0.01). However, ankle ROM had rise tendency during exercise with taping. There is no significant difference before taping and 30-40 minutes later.Conclusion:The closed-basket taping did protective effect to ankle joint, the restriction effect of ankle taping disappeared after 30-40 minutes.
