      <study_design>Randomization: Not randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Blinding description: In this study, blinding was performed in a single-blind manner. The person responsible for the statistical analysis was blinded to the allocation of data to the control or experimental groups at all measurement time points. After data collection, the data were coded by someone other than the analyst, and three datasets with neutral labels (Group 1, Group 2, and Group 3) were provided to the analyst. These labels did not indicate whether a dataset belonged to the control group or the experimental group, nor did they reveal the measurement time. The analyst performed the analysis solely based on the coded datasets, and after the initial analysis was completed, the assignment codes were unblinded by the principal investigator to interpret the final results.</study_design>

      <hc_freetext>Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.</hc_freetext>
      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Control group: Subjects in this group do not receive any kinesiology tape (neither active nor placebo) and only undergo the single-leg landing test. The single-leg landing is performed first in a non-fatigue condition and then immediately after the fatigue protocol is performed. This group is used as a comparison group without intervention to examine the effect of fatigue and to establish a baseline. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Subjects in this group receive active kinesiology taping with facilitating and restraining techniques. Kinesiotaping is applied to the hamstrings (facilitating) and quadriceps (restrictive) muscles with approximately 10–15% tension and, if necessary, in a stabilizing manner around the knee joint. Subjects perform single-leg landings in pre-fatigue conditions and immediately after the fatigue protocol with kinesiology taping. The aim is to investigate the immediate and protective effect of kinesiology taping on landing biomechanics in ACL-R subjects.</i_freetext>
