es deformation to the skin and the surrounding tissue
regardless of the orientation of KT application suggesting
that KT type used would not be a factor to be considered.
In the present study, no changes were observed in
magnitude of EMG signal for thigh muscles during barbell
back squat exercise in these conditions: facilitation
KTD, inhibition KTD, placebo KTD and without KTD.
The results showed the application of KTD from the muscle
origin to insertion did not increase, did not inhibit nor
decreased muscle activity. The results suggest that isolated
effects of KTD or the traction exerted by bandage in
different directions is not be able to change the magnitude
of the EMG activity. Facilitating or inhibiting effects of
KT application protocol may be very simple in relation to
the neuromuscular system complexity (Staudenmann et
al., 2010). Through a magnetic resonance observation, the
orientation of KT application on skin does not Deformhomogeneously
