Brief Summary
The main objective of this research is to comparatively examine the effects of corrective exercise programs and kinesio taping (KT) applications on performance parameters and functional mobility in adolescent male basketball players. Kinesio taping is used with the aims of regulating muscle tone, increasing proprioception, improving circulation, and supporting pain management. In this context, corrective exercises are applied to correct movement disorders, eliminate musculoskeletal imbalances, and improve the functional movement quality in athletes. Although the effects of both methods on the performance parameters and functional mobility of athletes have been examined separately in the literature, a direct comparative study in adolescent basketball players is noticeable.
