Abstract	This paper investigates the gap in current research concerning kinesiology tape in regard to their impact on agility of soccer players who use kinesiology tape on the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) muscle and those who do not. 68 participants were recruited and assigned to two groups: kinesiology tape and no kinesiology tape. Participants were assigned according to their sex, age, and years of experience. The kinesiology tape group had tape applied to both their VMO muscles while the no kinesiology tape group did not. The study employed a descriptive quantitative design. Their agility performance was measured using the Illinois Agility Test. The study found no significant difference (U = 477.50, p = 0.22) between the two groups. Therefore, there is no significant difference between the agility of soccer players in Dumaguete City when kinesiology tape is applied on the vastus medialis oblique versus those with no tape when grouped according to sex.
