Judo jump study: can simple ankle tape fix leg asymmetry?
NCT ID NCT07688330
First seen Jul 07, 2026 · Last updated Jul 08, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether taping the dominant ankle can reduce differences in how the left and right legs work during a jump test in healthy judo athletes. Forty judokas aged 18 to 35 will perform countermovement jumps with and without ankle tape, and a force platform will measure leg symmetry. The goal is to understand if taping can help balance leg use, which may aid injury prevention and performance.
