Materiais e m?todos: Trata-se de um ensaio cl?nico e randomizadocom 60 volunt?rias entre 18 a 28 anos, recrutadas por conveni?ncia e distribu?das em tr?s grupos com 20 integrantes:Grupo controle (GC) - submetidas ao protocolo exc?ntrico sem KT, Grupo KT (KT) - protocolo exc?ntrico com KT tensionado e Grupo Placebo (GP) - protocolo exc?ntrico com KT sem tens?o. As volunt?rias foram avaliadas em quatro momentos: o primeiro foi linha de base (AV1), o segundo imediatamente ap?s o protocolo de exerc?cio (AV2) e os dois seguintes 24h (AV3) e 48h (AV4) ap?s a interven??o. O dano muscular foi induzido por meio de contra??es exc?ntricas m?ximas dos flexores do cotovelo do membro n?o dominante a 60?/s.Foram analisados: a amplitude articular em repouso, o n?vel de dor, o senso de posi??o articular (SPA), o desempenho isocin?tico e a atividade eletromiogr?fica. Os dados foram analisados no software SPSS 20.0. A normalidade foi verificada pelo teste de Kolmogorov-Smirnov e utilizada ANOVA de modelo misto, com signific?ncia de 5%, para verificar eventuais diferen?as entre os grupos. Resultados: Observou-se diminui??o da amplitude articular e aumento imediato da dor que elevou com 24 horas e permaneceu at? 48 horas em todos os grupos, mas sem diferen?as entre os grupos.N?o houve diferen?a no SPA. As vari?veis pico de torque normalizado, pico de torque m?dio, trabalho total e pot?ncia m?dia reduziram at? 48 horas ap?s dano muscular, em todos os grupos. N?o houve diferen?a nos valores eletromiogr?ficos entre os grupos. Conclus?o: O KT n?o influencia nos marcadores cl?nicos indiretos de dano muscular induzido pelo exerc?cio exc?ntrico nos flexores de cotovelo, em indiv?duos saud?veis. / Objective: analyze the effect of Kinesio Taping (KT) on the indirect clinical markers of muscle damage induced by eccentric exercises in the elbow flexors in healthy individuals. Materials and methods: It is a randomized controlled trial involving sixty volunteers at age group between 18 and 28 years randomly selected. The sample into three groups with twenty participants: control group (CG) ? eccentric protocol without KT, KT group ? eccentric with tensioned KT, placebo group ? eccentric protocol KT with no tension. The evaluations took place at four moments; the first one was the basis line (AV1), after the second protocol (AV2) and the following two groups 24 (AV3) and 48 hours (AV4) after the intervention protocol. The muscle damage was induced by sixteen maximum eccentric contractions of the elbow flexors from the non-dominant limb, divided in two sets of eight repetitions, at 60?/s, with two minutes interval. The variables analyzed were: the joint amplitude in rest, the level of pain, the joint position sense (JPS) followed of isokinetic checking with electromyographic sign capitation. These data were analyzed in software SPSS 20.0. The normality was identified by Kolmogorov-Smimov examination and then, being used the ANOVA mixed model with significance of 5%. Outcomes: a decrease was observed at joint amplitude moreover, an immediate increase of pain wich increased after 24 and remained until 48 hours at all groups searched. There was not difference at the JPS. The variables peak torque, average peak torque, total work and mean power mean reduced until 48 hours after muscle lesion in all groups. Among the groups, there was no difference in EMG values and for any of the variables. Conclusion: The KT did not influence at the indirect clinical markers of muscle lesion induced by eccentric exercises in the elbow flexors in healthy people.
