Kinesiology taping (KT) is widely used to support muscle function and recovery, but its optimal application timing remains unclear. While some suggest pre-exercise KT provides protective benefits, others propose post-exercise aids recovery. Eccentric contractions often lead eccentric exercise-induced damage (EIMD), causing strength loss, soreness, reduced range of motion. Whether influences effectiveness in mitigating or accelerating EIMD recovery requires further investigation. This study...
