Abstract

Objective: To verify the effect of adhesive tape (adhesive taping) for stabilization of ankle reversals on running economy, determined by the cost of transport (CT). Methods: Ten male recreational long distance runners with average race speed between 13.5 and 15.0 km.h-1 performed the following procedures: (1) Measurement of oxygen consumption at rest (VO2orto) for six minutes; (2) three bouts of five minutes running test at 14.0 km.h-1 to determined the Vo2test; without taping (SE); taping in one ankle (E1T); and two ankles (E2T). Results: No difference in CT among the groups SE (3.5 ± 0.2), E1T (3.6 ± 0.2) and E2T (3.6 ± 0.2) was found (F(2;18)= 2.866; p=0.083). Conclusion: Adhesive taping does not influence the running economy in recreational long distance runners.
