The aim of this thesis was to determine the effect of kinesiotaping (KT) on hand grip strength in kinesiology and physiotherapy students aged 20 to 27. The secondary objective was to determine the grip strength of the student population, as well as gender differences in grip strength. The sample of respondents consisted of 60 healthy male(30) and female (30) kinesiology and physiotherapy students from the 2nd to the 5th year of study. The age range of the students was 20 to 27 years. The research was conducted at the Faculty of Kinesiology in Osijek and the Physiotherapy Department of the Polytechnic "Lavoslav Ružička" in Vukovar. All three measurements were taken 3 times on both hands, alternately. The measurement was carried out with a dynamometer, before applying the kinesiotape, 30 minutes after the application and 24 hours after the application of the kinesiotape. Of the 30 men who participated in the research, in 15 participans KT was placed on their dominant hand, while in the other 15 participansKT was placed on their non-dominant hand. The same applies to women. KT was placed in an "I" shape from the origin to the insertion of the wrist flexor muscles. The arithmetic mean of the results of the dominant and non-dominant hand was calculated and these data were used for further analysis. The research results showed that the hand grip strength was slightly higher 30 min after the application of kinesiotape and 24 hours after the application of kinesiotape compared to the baseline measurement (without kinesiotape), however this difference was not statistically significant. As for the gender difference in hand grip strength, the male population of students had significantly higher results and the difference was statistically significant, which is biologically expected
