The purpose of this study was to identify the impacts of the 8 weeks’ front and back femoral muscle taping utilizing resistance exercises on the isokinetic muscle functions of the muscles that were involved in knee flexion and extension. Twenty-one male students who was majoring in Physical Education in K University, Gyeonggi-do were selected as the subjects of this study. They were divided into three groups as Taping Training Group (n=7), Training Group (n=7), and Control Group (n=7) and the variables such as Peak torque per body weight, Average Power and Total work were measured. The results of the study are as follows. First, there was significant difference in both left and right side at 60°/sec flexion in the Peak torque/BW. Second, there was significant difference in left side at 60°/sec flexion in the average power. Third, there was significant difference in right side at 180°/sec flexion in the Total work. Therefore, the 8 weeks’ front and back femoral muscle taping utilizing resistance exercises made remarkable impacts on the flexor muscle of the knee. It is expected that taping applied exercise programs matching with the special characteristics of the sport will provide efficiency of muscle activities in skill enhancement and rehabilitation training. It is also expected that taping application to the athletics in public will bring the general public positive effects in physical strength enhancement.
