AB  - INTRODUCTION: Investigations on the effects of KT on human performance have been 
      increasing in the last few years. However, there is a paucity of studies 
      investigating its effects on neuromuscular efficiency (NME) and rate of force 
      development (RFD). OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the NME and RFD of the soleus and 
      gastrocnemius muscles in physically active individuals under KT application. 
      METHOD: Twenty young males (79.7+/-8.2kg; 1.78+/-0.05m; 24.7+/-4.4years) performed 
      three conditions in a randomized order: (1) Baseline (BL, no tape); (2) 
      Activation (ACTIKT, tape for muscle activation); and (3) Inhibition (INHIKT, tape 
      for muscle inhibition). The tape was applied along the lateral and medial border 
      of gastrocnemius with 30% tension for 48h. Peak torque (PT), RFD and NME were 
      measured at BL and 48h after ACTIKT and INHIKT by performing a maximum isometric 
      contraction. RESULTS: The RFD was significantly higher in ACTIKT compared to BL 
      at 0-30 (P=0.010), 0-50 (P=0.008) and 0-100ms (P=0.007). The PT and NME did not 
      differ among conditions (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: KT applied for muscle activation 
      yielded a higher RFD during the initial phase of the muscle contraction. However, 
      KT has no enhancement effect on NME and peak torque.
