The purpose of this study is to compare the difference between quadriceps strength and endurance on the degree of elasticity of convergent kinesio taping. Twenty-eight normal adults who voluntarily participated in this study were randomly assigned among 4 groups, that is, group without tape, group with tape elasticity of 0 %, group with tape elasticity of 25 %, or group with tape elasticity of 50 %. Quadriceps strength and endurance were measured using CSMI. Strength among the groups was significantly different (p<.001), and the greater the elasticity of the tape, the greater the muscle strength. However, endurance was't significantly different among the groups (p>.05). These findings suggest that convergent kinesio taping elasticity with 25% and 50% is effective for quadriceps strength in physical activity.
