Brief summary: This study perform to investigate the the acute effects of trunk kinesiotaping on trunk strength, trunk endurance, balance and plantar pressure.

Detailed description: Body; It is an integral part of the body for spinal stability, postural control, proprioceptive stimuli, and energy transfer between the upper and lower extremities. Increasing trunk muscle endurance, strength and proprioception; It is of great importance in body function.

In this study, kinesiotape will apply to the trunk flexsor and extensor muscles using the muscle facilitation techniques. Also placebo taping will apply on the same muscles with same kinesiotape without any stretching or positioning. A total of 4 applications including kinesiotaping and placebo taping will perform randomly in 4 consecutive days.

For each subject; A total of 5 separate evaluations will perform on the first day (without taping) and following 4 consecutive days. Between the taping and evaluation of the subjects will wait for 30-45 minutes.

The aim of the study is to determine the effect of kinesio taping (KB) applied to different trunk muscles on various parameters.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Signed informed consent form and participated in all stages of the study
2. Being in the age range of 18-30

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Having any physical, mental or psychological illness that may affect participation in the study
2. Having an allergy to kinesio tape
3. Having a history of major surgery in the last six months

Primary outcomes:
measure: A kinesthetic ability trainer (Sport KAT Model 650-TS) which shows the balance index scores
timeFrame: Change of balance from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.
measure: Diagnostic Support Electronic Baropodometry and Milletrix software
timeFrame: Change of plantar pressure from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.
measure: Back Leg Chest Dynamometer
timeFrame: Change of trunk muscles strength from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.
measure: Trunk muscles endurance tests (Modifiye Biering-Sorensen test, trunk flexion endurance test, lateral bridge test, plank test)
timeFrame: Change of trunk muscles endurance from baseline at the end of 30 minutes of each kinesiotaping intervention.
