TLDR
Results showed no significant differences (ANOVA, p<0.05) between the two groups in both trials, and improvements in jumping performance could be detected.Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of taping with a flexible tape on jumping performance and its effects on the impulse in a stretch-shortening cycle movement. 23 subjects were divided in control group and intervention group. The subjects participated in two trials of vertical counter-movement jumps. In the trial, the knee extensors of the subjects in the intervention group were taped with an activating taping technique. Reaction forces of the jump were measured with an AMTI-force plate. Results showed no significant differences (ANOVA, p<0.05) between the two groups in both trials. Mean jumping height in Trial 1 was 0.38 ± 0.11 m (control) and 0.33 ± 0.05 m (intervention) compared to 0.35 ± 0.10 m (control) and 0.33 ± 0.05 m (intervention) in Trial 2. No improvements in jumping performance could be detected.read more

Effect of Kinesio Taping on bioelectrical activity of vastus medialis muscle. Preliminary report.
TL;DR: Clinically significant effects of Kinesio Taping in this study included an increase in the bioelectrical activity of the muscle after 24 hours of kinesio taping and the maintenance of this effect for another 48 hours following removal of the tape.
Original article: Does tape facilitate or inhibit the lower fibres of trapezius?
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of tape on trapezius motoneurone pool excitability was investigated using the H reflex, and the results showed that the application of tape to the skin overlying the lower fibres of trapezii is generally thought to facilitate this muscle, but this facilitation has not been thoroughly investigated.

The Effect of Playing Surface on Injury Rate: A Review of the Current Literature

TL;DR: Despite differences in injury type, the rate of injury on third-generation and natural grass surfaces appears to be comparable and it appears that clay is significantly safer than either grass or hard court tennis surfaces, but this is a conclusion drawn with limited data.

Effects of the playing surface on plantar pressures and potential injuries in tennis
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that playing surface affects plantar loading in tennis: Greenset induced higher loading in the hallux, but lower relative load on the medial (SV: −27.3%, p<0.01) than clay.
