Abstract
The purposes of this study are to find the effect of self-inelastic sports taping on the acute wrist pain and pain severity among Winter sports participants. Also, the study is to analyze the possible risk factors surrounding injuries at the wrist joint. All data were collected from the 2019 to 2020 seasons from ski resorts, South Korea. A randomized experimental study was designed with 194 college students aged 24.33 (SD=2.55) (experimental group=88; control group=106 individuals). For data analysis, descriptive analysis, χ2-test, independent t-test, and binary logistic regression were performed using SPSS 25.0 at α< .05. Overall 79 persons (41%) out of 194 participants have experienced acute pain of the wrist joint. The χ2-test showed that the experimental group (p<.05) and female students (p<.05) have experienced a low rate of pain compared to the control group. The binary logistic regression found that there was a significant difference between the injury incidence rate and type of winter sports and previous injury history (p<.05). In conclusions, the incidence of acute wrist pain was high among our participants. The intervention with the self-taping group showed a low occurrence of pain compared to the control group. More research on the application of other types of sports taping and injury prevention in the sports is required.
