This study investigated the effects of Kinesio Taping (KT) on cardiopulmonary function and fatigue recovery, focusing on its role as a non-invasive intervention. Eighteen healthy male college students participated in a repeated measures design (Repeated Measure ANOVA) to compare cardiopulmonary responses under three conditions: No Taping (NT), Lower Limb Taping (LLT), and Respiratory Muscle Taping (RMT). A treadmill-based cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) using the Bruce protocol was conducted until reaching 90% of the maximal heart rate, and subjective fatigue was assessed via the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). For the intervention, the tape was applied without tension while the muscles were in a maximally stretched position, applied respectively to the respiratory and lower limb muscles. The results showed that at the anaerobic threshold (AT), both LLT and RMT significantly prolonged the time to reach the threshold (RAT, p=0.018) and increased minute ventilation (VE, p=0.002) compared to NT. Notably, the RMT condition improved respiratory efficiency, recording significantly higher oxygen consumption (VO₂, p=0.001) and oxygen pulse (O₂ pulse, p=0.009) than the NT and LLT conditions. At 90% of the maximal heart rate, LLT and RMT significantly increased VE (p=0.001), VO₂ (p=0.002), VO₂ max (p=0.005), and O₂ pulse (p=0.002) compared to NT. Regarding subjective fatigue, lower limb fatigue (LLF) significantly decreased with LLT (p=0.001), and respiratory fatigue (RF) significantly decreased with RMT (p=0.006) compared to the NT condition. However, no significant differences were observed in any variables during the 5-minute recovery period (p>0.05). In conclusion, the strategic application of Kinesio Taping is an effective tool for alleviating fatigue and optimizing cardiopulmonary capacity during exercise. It is recommended to strategically select taping sites based on the sport's characteristics and performance priorities.
