Diaphragmatic Kinesio Taping With HIIT in Trained Individuals
Sponsor: Agri Ibrahim Cecen University
Summary
This study examines whether adding diaphragmatic kinesio taping to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) improves physical performance in trained individuals. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups. One group will perform an 8-week HIIT program on a cycle ergometer. The other group will follow the same HIIT program and will also receive diaphragmatic kinesio taping before each exercise session. The taping is applied to support breathing muscles and may help improve oxygen use during exercise. Before and after the training period, participants will undergo tests to measure aerobic capacity (VO₂max), anaerobic power (Wingate test), balance (Y-Balance test), lung function (spirometry), body composition, and heart rate responses. The results of this study will help determine whether diaphragmatic kinesio taping provides additional benefits when combined with HIIT training.

Interventions
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
Participants perform an 8-week supervised high-intensity interval training program on a cycle ergometer, three times per week. Each session includes warm-up, alternating high- and low-intensity intervals targeting 85-95% of maximal heart rate, and cool-down.
Diaphragmatic Kinesio Taping
Elastic kinesio tape is applied to the diaphragmatic region before each training session using a standardized technique to support inspiratory muscle activity and facilitate breathing.
