Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of different ankle taping materials on agility performance. Method: Twelve healthy male junior high school students (height 161.08± 6.78cm, weight 50.86± 11.18kg, age 14.04± 0.59) were recruited as subjects. A repeated measure, counter-balance design was used and all subjects went through agility tests (side step test, 4×10m shuttle run, Right Boomerang test) without ankle taping and with ankle taping using different materials (white nonelastic tape, light elastic tape, elastic tape). Two measurements were performed and the best score was used for final analysis. Statistic analysis was performed with repeated one-way ANOVA by SPSS for Windows 10.0 and the level of significance was set as 0.05. Results: (1) there was no significant difference in the result of side step among all ankle protective conditions. (2) There was a significant difference (p<.05) in the 4×10m shuttle run between no taping and all other taping conditions. Conclusion: There are no influences on the agility performance in the side step test and Right Boomerang test after the ankle taping but not in the 4×10m shuttle run. Although ankle taping can provide stability, protection and prevention of ankle sprain, it could have some negative effect on the performance of agility for certain types of agility tests.
