This research examines the<br />effect of Kinesio Taping on quadriceps femoris muscle power and strength in non-athlete adult<br />males. This research is quasi experimental design, involving 30 non-athlete adult males aged<br />18-22 years old . Muscle power is examined by using Margaria-KalamenPower Test, and<br />muscle strength by using Isometric Leg Strength Test before, 20 minutes and 24 hours after<br />using Kinesio Taping. The data is analyzed by using paired t test. The result shows that muscle<br />power difference between 20 minutes and before using KinesioTaping (196,62±150,67) watt are<br />lower than muscle power difference between 24 hours and before using KinesioTaping<br />(247,31±139,88)watt (p value <0,01). The result also shows that muscle strength difference<br />between 20 minutes and before using KinesioTaping (26,74±10,26)kg shows lower than muscle<br />strength difference between 24 hours and before using KinesioTaping(30,26±9,99)kg(p value<br /><0,01). KinesioTaping increases quadriceps femoris muscle power and strength 24 hours after<br />better than 20 minutes after using in non-athlete adult males.<br />Keywords: Kinesio Taping, quadriceps femoris, muscle power, muscle strength}, number={5}, journal={Journal of Medicine and Health}, author={Gunadi, Julia W and Limyati, Yenni and Ladi, Jeanny E and Clara, Stela and Sinaga, Hadrian M}, year={2017}, month={Feb.} }
