Studies have shown that dynamic taping can help normalize inadequate biomechanics during landings. This study aims to examine the effects of dynamic taping on landing biomechanics in fatigued football athletes. Twenty-seven high-school football athletes were recruited and randomly allocated to groups of either active taping or sham taping, with a crossover allocation two weeks later. In each group, the participants underwent a functional agility short-term fatigue protocol and were evaluated using the landing error scoring system before and after the fatigue protocol. The landing error scoring system (LESS) scores in the sham taping group increased from 4.24 \u00b1 1.83 to 5.36 \u00b1 2.00 (t = \u22122.07, p = 0.04, effect size = 0.61). In contrast, the pre\u2013post difference did not reach statistical significance in the active taping group (from 4.24 \u00b1 1.69 to 4.52 \u00b1 1.69, t = \u22121.50, p = 0.15, effect size 0.46). Furthermore, the pre\u2013post changes between the sham and active taping groups were statistically significant (sham taping: 1.12 \u00b1 1.20; active taping: 0.28 \u00b1 0.94, p = 0.007). Dynamic taping, particularly using the spiral technique, appeared to mitigate faulty landing biomechanics in the fatigued athletes by reducing hip and knee flexion and increasing hip internal rotation during landing. These results suggest that dynamic taping can potentially offer protective benefits in landing mechanics, which could further be applied to prevent ACL injuries in fatigued athletes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bioengineering11060631","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,20]],"date-time":"2024-06-20T05:27:19Z","timestamp":1718861239000},"page":"631","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Influence of Dynamic Taping on Landing Biomechanics after Fatigue in Young Football Athletes: A Randomized, Sham-Controlled Crossover Trial"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3293-8672","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chih-Kuan","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"},{"name":"Center of Comprehensive Sports Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Physical Therapy and Graduate Institute of Rehabilitation Science, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan 33302, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1058-2329","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yin-Chou","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"},{"name":"Center of Comprehensive Sports Medicine, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Health Management and Enhancement, Open University of Kaohsiung, Kaohsiung 81249, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ya-Lin","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Athletic Training & Health, National Taiwan Sport University, Taoyuan 33301, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1681-5410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi-Ping","family":"Chao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan 33302, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1794-7941","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tsung-Hsun","family":"Hsieh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Therapy and Graduate Institute of Rehabilitation Science, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan 33302, Taiwan"},{"name":"Neuroscience Research Center, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"},{"name":"Healthy Aging Research Center, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1543","DOI":"10.1136\/bjsports-2013-093398","article-title":"Fifty-five per cent return to competitive sport following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis including aspects of physical functioning and contextual factors","volume":"48","author":"Ardern","year":"2014","journal-title":"Br.
