| Muscle | MVIC | F | p-value | |||

| VMO (%) | 31.50 ± 12.31 | 32.99 ± 13.21 | 32.03 ± 12.16 | 35.73 ± 12.81a,b,c | 26.06 | 0.01 |
| VL (%) | 36.89 ± 14.20 | 34.20 ± 12.25 | 35.29 ± 12.46 | 33.30 ± 9.65 | 1.21 | 0.34 |
Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. MVIC, maximal voluntary isometric contraction; WT, without taping; PMGT, patellar medial glide taping; VMOFT, vastus medialis oblique facilitatory taping; CT, combined taping; VMO, vastus medialis oblique; VL, vastus lateralis. *Significant difference among taping techniques, p < 0.05. aSignificant difference between WT. bSignificant difference between PMGT. cSignificant difference between VMOFT.
