Fig. 2 Low-Dye tape according to Osborne & Allison (2006). a) The foot is placed in the neutral position (the ankle relative to the leg was at 90° and the subtalar joint was placed in neutral), and a stirrup and anchor is applied. b) The tape is applied in diagonal with tension in the direction of the arrows. c) The tape is applied transversely across the plantar surface of the foot with tension in direction of arrows. d) The stirrup and anchor are reapplied to keep the tape in position. The tape was applied up to the first metatarsophalangeal joint. Physical Therapy in Sport 2018 29, 43-49DOI: (10.1016/j.ptsp.2017.11.001) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Ltd Terms and Conditions

Fig. 3 Placebo tape. a) The foot is place in the neutral position and a stirrup and anchor is applied. b) Tape is applied transversely across the plantar surface of the foot with no tension.

Fig. 5 Change in mean (SE) lower-limb stiffness during low-load hopping for the PF and CG; n = 10 in each group. Significant interaction (Condition by Group p < 0.0018) with significant post-hoc pairwise comparisons shown for the CG. Other post-hoc comparisons did not reach significance.
