Figure 4.

Effect of application of Aqua Titan-treated tape on the skin covering the triceps surae muscle-tendon complex and whole-body Aqua Titan-treated garments during 48 h recovery from strenuous running exercise on (A) the short latency response obtained from Achilles tendon tap; and (B) plantar flexor range of motion (ROM) from dynamometry [9]; and the on (C) the metabolic cost of subsequent running [10], respectively. Data represent mean ± standard deviation. Statistically significant differences from the control at p < 0.05, where * is the difference in the post-pre scores, and, # the difference for all run stages in the overall effect of treatment estimated via repeated measures linear mixed model ANOVA. Effect sizes were qualified as large for short latency response and small for range of motion (ROM) and metabolic cost.
