Intervention(s)

Group 1: elastic bandage will be applied once with tension from 50% to stimulation of the triceps surae muscles. The same will be applied and immediately after application, the tests will be made of hops and dynamic balance.
Group 2: will be the control group, them will be applied once a bandage is not elastic. After applying the sham tape, testing will take place.

Primary Outcome(s)

In the study outcome assessments will be compared in groups of two.
The variables that are compared are:
Vertical jump height: measured using a contact mat that will provide the flight time during the one-leg jumping athletes.
Horizontal jump distance: the distance will be achieved by the athlete in a single-leg jump.
Dynamic Balance: evaluated by testing Star Excursion Balance Test, where the athlete has one foot to reach the farthest point possible in three directions.
