The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the application of Kinesio® tape and Rigid Tape on shoulder muscle strength of healthy tennis players. Thirty male tennis players with no history of shoulder pain or impairment were recruited. Shoulder rotator muscles' strength were measured before and 30 minutes after taping, by Isokinetic dynamometer to determine the effects of taping on shoulder muscle strength among three groups of Kinesio® tape, Rigid Tape and No tape.
