INTRODUCTION: While regular exercise benefits health, intense or eccentric exercise can cause muscle injury, inflammation, and oxidative stress, leading to delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). This study aimed to investigate the effects of Kinesio tape alone and in combination with cupping therapy on DOMS in terms of pain, range of motion, and function.
METHOD: Thirty-three male subjects were randomly assigned to Kinesio taping alone (KT), Kinesio taping combined with cupping therapy (KT + C), and control groups. The KT group received Kinesio taping to the posterior thigh region (hamstring muscle), the KT + C group received Kinesio taping and cupping therapy, and the control group received placebo Kinesio taping. The numerical rating scale (NRS) for pain, active knee extension test, and triple hop test were performed six times: at baseline, immediately after the performance of the Nordic exercise, immediately after taping, and 24, 48, and 72 h post-taping.
RESULTS: The KT and KT + C groups both had significantly lower NRS pain scores compared to the control group immediately after the intervention (p ≤ 0.05). At 48 h post-intervention, the KT + C group had lower pain scores and greater flexibility (active knee extension test) than both the KT and control groups. The KT group demonstrated worse functional performance (triple hop test) than the KT + C and control groups up to 48 h post-intervention.
CONCLUSION: Kinesio taping combined with cupping therapy improved pain, flexibility, and functional performance in individuals experiencing DOMS. While the application of Kinesio tape alone also reduced pain, it had a negative impact on functional performance.
