Abstract

In recent years, futsal is one of the most popular sports. The injuries that are often experienced by female futsal athletes involve the lower body. This paper presents scientific knowledge about the use of Kinesio Taping in futsal athletes who have suffered injuries, both during training and competing. In this study, a systematic review is used by reviewing several related articles of Kinesio Taping. This kinesio taping is made of cotton with acrylic adhesives that are patterned like human fingerprints, so that it matches the surface of the skin with an estimated usage of Kinesio Taping is 20-35 minutes. The nature of this Kinesio Taping is elastic which is able to stretch from 30% to 40% of its basic length resulting in convolution in the surface layer of the skin, which will lift the surface of the skin so that it can accelerate blood circulation and improve lymphatic circulation. Therefore, we suggest that Trainers and athletes should know the positive effects of using Kinesio Taping and how to use it, thus the results are more leverage.
