Resumen
The exhaustive training routine can lead from muscle fatigue to athletes exposure to injuries, generating pain and preventing them from maintaining their training routine. In recent years, Kinesiotaping tape (KT) has been applied in the treatment of injuries. The objective of this study is to examine and review the existing literature to evaluate the effects of KT tape application on pain and muscle fatigue in professional and amateur athletes, justifying its use as a treatment. We searched the databases PEDro, LILACS and Medline, and included articles focusing on the application of KT aimed at improving pain and muscle fatigue in professional or amateur athletes. Excluded articles that had not used the tape as treatment. Among all 11 studies analyzed, both in relation to pain and in relation to muscle fatigue, significant results were observed for the application of KT tape, and several authors cited the importance of the tape as complementary in the treatment, which points to the benefits of its use in practice.
