This study aims to evaluate the effects of exercise combined with kinesiology taping on local hemodynamic parameters in healthy university students. Doppler ultrasound will be used to assess local blood flow and hemodynamic responses associated with the intervention. Participants will perform the exercise protocol with kinesiology taping, and hemodynamic parameters will be assessed to determine whether the combined intervention produces changes in local circulation. The study is designed to provide a better understanding of the acute circulatory responses to exercise combined with kinesiology taping.
Healthy adults aged 20-30 years.
Able to understand the study procedures and provide written informed consent.
History of cardiovascular disease, including hypertension, heart disease, or peripheral vascular disease.
History of diabetes mellitus or other metabolic diseases that may affect vascular function.
History of lower-extremity surgery or fracture.
Acute lower-extremity musculoskeletal injury within the previous 6 months.
Parallel
Kinesiology Taping
Other interventionParticipants will perform ankle pumping exercise in a semi-reclined position with both lower limbs relaxed, the knees slightly flexed, and the heels supported. Each movement will consist of approximately 2 seconds of ankle dorsiflexion followed by 2 seconds of plantar flexion. The exercise will be performed for five cycles, with each cycle consisting of 1 minute of exercise followed by 2 minutes of rest. Participants will breathe normally and will be instructed to avoid breath-holding during the exercise.
Ankle Pumping Exercise
BehavioralParticipants will perform ankle pumping exercise in a semi-reclined position with both lower limbs relaxed, knees slightly flexed, and heels supported. Each movement will consist of approximately 2 seconds of ankle dorsiflexion followed by 2 seconds of plantar flexion. The intervention will consist of five cycles, with each cycle including 1 minute of exercise followed by 2 minutes of rest. Participants will breathe normally and avoid breath-holding during the exercise.
Blood Flow Volume of the Lower-Limb Arteries
Blood flow volume will be measured using Doppler ultrasound in the anterior tibial artery (ATA) and posterior tibial artery (PTA). Measurements will be obtained under standardized conditions to evaluate acute changes in peripheral arterial blood flow following the intervention.
