In eight young recurve archers, after four weeks of training with tape on the deltoid of the bow arm, 30 arrows at 18 metres go from 224.6 to 248.4 points; in 30 women archers with tape on the deltoid and supraspinatus of the drawing arm, three arrows are worth two to four points more straight after the tape goes on; in 22 adolescent barebow archers, after four weeks of taping, three arrows at 18 metres reach 26.4 out of 30. None has a sham tape for comparison, in all of them the tape goes on after the first test, and in the last one the archers were selected precisely because they scored 25 or less on the first test, so some improvement was to be expected anyway. The three studies tape different muscles on different arms and appear in regional journals or, in the case of the first, a journal of doubtful quality, which is why it stays as context and does not count towards the status. There is evidence in favour, and it is weak.claim:kinesio-tape-precisione:revision:2026-03-19:2Thu, 19 Mar 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/health/kinesiology-tape-shoulder-scoreclaim:kinesio-tape-precisione:new_claim:2026-01-30:riportatoFri, 30 Jan 2026 08:00:00 GMT
