Improving Forward Head Posture Through Kinesiology Taping and Exercise in College Students
Get PDFForward head posture, often referred to as “tech neck,” had become increasingly prevalent among young adults due to prolonged use of laptops, tablets, and smartphones. This study evaluated the effects of kinesiology taping, a structured home exercise program, and their combination on postural correction in college students. Participants were randomly assigned to one of four groups: kinesiology taping, exercise, combined intervention, or control. Standardized posture photographs were taken at baseline and immediately following the 4-week intervention to assess measurable improvements in craniovertebral angle. Each intervention was designed to address muscular imbalances associated with forward head posture; kinesiology taping provided proprioceptive feedback and postural support, and targeted exercise strengthened the deep cervical flexors and scapular stabilizers while stretching the anterior musculature. Preliminary data established a baseline for participants’ neck posture, with the expectation of observing progressive improvements in craniovertebral angle across the intervention period. Statistical analysis was performed using repeated-measures ANOVA to evaluate within-group and between-group differences, with significance set at p < 0.05. The findings of this study aimed to determine the most effective strategy for improving posture in young adults and to provide practical, non-invasive recommendations for reducing the negative impact of forward head posture associated with modern technology use
The Effect of Plyometric vs Sprint Training on Anaerobic Capacity
Get PDFThis study examined the effects of plyometric and sprint training on anaerobic capacity over a six-week period. Anaerobic capacity refers to the body’s ability to produce ATP (energy) without oxygen over brief durations. 4 Participants completed a home exercise program on plyometrics and 4 participants completed a home exercise program on sprinting. All 8 participants were tested using a Wattbike to measure anaerobic capacity before, during and after the six-week home exercise programs. Total work (J) was recorded to measure anaerobic performance of each participant. A repeated measure ANOVA was used to analyze changes in total work over time between plyometrics and sprinting. Results showed that anaerobic performance changed over the six-week period for both training programs. This data allows for comparisons between the effects of plyometric and sprint training and may provide insight into how different training programs influence anaerobic capacity. The data can guide the development of training programs aimed to improve anaerobic performance and inform coaches and athletes on potential approaches to improve anaerobic capacity
