      <hc_freetext>The study of hand grip of  athletes with kinesiotape.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>The study was conducted on a group of athletes.The three different types of kinesio tape (listed below) will be used for each athlete and  the grip strength and endurance will be measured at the mentioned intervals( before applying kinesio tape , immediately after kinesio taping , during kinesio taping and after removing kinesio tape).&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
 Intervention    :&#13;
Using Kinesiotape in forearam in both the flexors and extensors areas of the forearm which will be conducted in three phases: &#13;
1-Kinesiotape with 50% stretch&#13;
2-Kinesiotape without stretch&#13;
3-Without Kinesiotape&#13;
&#13;
To determine the length of the Kinesiotape with 50% stretch ,  The forearm of subject will be put in supinated position with extension of elbow then the distance between medial epicondyle of elbow to anterior line of  wrist is measured and multiplied by 0/83  to obtain the correct Kinesiotape length..</i_freetext>
