摘要：Objective. This study was designed to assess the possible relationship between maximal squat strengthwith maximal squat strength after massage and maximal squat strength after kinesiotape.Method of research. Thirteen college students (13 males, age=21.85±1.73 years, height=1.75±0.09 m,body weight=71.54±8.15 kg, 1RM=98.41±21.94 kg, 1RM after massage=103.09±22.71 kg, and afterkinesiotape=104.64±25.32 kg) volunteered to participate in this study.Subjects were given up to 4 maximalattempts to achieve a 1RM. Suitable rests were allowed between trials (3–5 minutes). 1RM squat measurementswere taken on three separate days throughout a week (first day=1RM squat, second day=1RM squat aftermassage, third day=1RM squat after kinesiotape application). 1RM squat after massage and kinesiotape weremeasured and Pearson product correlation coefficients and linear regression calculated between selectedvariables.Results. We found a significantly relationship between 1RM squatand 1RM squat after massage. Also,there was a significantly relationship between 1RM squatand 1 RM squat after kinesiotape application. 1RMsquat after massagein a unit change affects 1RM squat in 0.96 rate (P<0.05). On the other hand, 1RM squat afterkinesiotape in a unit change affects 1RM squat in 0.79 rate (P<0.05).Conclusion. Massage and kinesiotape application improved1RM squat strength. It is considered thatmassage improved better than kinesiotape application.
