The aim this study was investigate taping on vertical jump and medial longitudinal arch height in adolescent volleyball players with navicular drop. Material Methods: 23 female athletes participated (mean age 15.22 ± 1.54 years). evaluated drop test. Vertical jumping measured VERT® device (Mayfonk Athletic, USA).

Conclusions: tape application can be as an easy-to-apply practical treatment agent MLA asymptomatic increasing
