Abstract
Taking into consideration a frequent occurrence of hypermobility syndrome (12-24% adults in Poland) and its possible health consequences, it is important to perform a specialist screening research in the population of children and adolescents. The aim of the study was to estimate the frequency of occurrence of the joint hypermobility symptoms among the youth and to analyse the significance of the differences in the results of individual tests performed in the two groups. A total of 60 girls and 60 boys at the age of 15 participated in the study. The sample was divided into three mobility types (according to Sachse) based on 13 clinical tests. JHS (hypermobility syndrome) was diagnosed in 10 girls (8.3% of the subjects). The comparison between the two groups of subjects showed statistical significance (p<0.05) for trunk retroflexion, global flexion, passive movement of the thumb towards the forearm and hyperextension in the knee and elbow joints. 1. Gender determines the occurrence of joints hypermobility in healthy children. This refers particularly to: retroflexion and flexion of the trunk, hyperextension of the elbows and knees and the movement of the thumb to the palmar aspect of the forearm. 2. The frequent occurrence of extreme flexibility of passive stabilizers of selected peripheral and spinal joints in the adolescents seems to be an important issue that physiotherapists and physical education teachers should be made aware of. 3. If joint hypermobility is detected, the exercises improving muscle strength and stabilising the joints should be implemented in or der to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injures.

Abstract
Background. Both physical and mental effort undertaken in pursuit of perfection in the dance makes improving the quality of motor skills for dancers is just as important as the development of skills. In the literature there are reports that Kinesiology Taping facilitates muscle activity which contributes to increase their strength. The aim of the study was to eval-uate the effectiveness of KT application in improving muscle strength in female dancers with joint hipermobility after injury.
Material and methods. The research involved 44 jazz female dancers with musculoskeletal pain in lower part of the body. Average age of dancers was M = 20,12; SD = 2,88; Min = 18; Max = 25. All patients reported joint hipermobility by Sachse. In the dancers KT applications for three weeks, three times were used for selected groups of muscles, peripheral joints and spine after a screening test. Before and after treatment muscle strength of selected muscles were measured using a dynamometer MicroFet2.
Results. The analysis results indicate that the use of KT applications significantly contributed to the increased muscle strength following: quadratus lumborum, piriformis, gluteus medius, gluteus maximus, iliopsoas, biceps femoris, semitendinosus ald semimembranosus and adduc-tors (p < 0,005). There was no statistically significant difference in muscle strength after ap-plications for: latissimus dorsi, rectus femoris and tensor fascie late (p > 0,05).
Conclusions. Applications KT of dancers hypermobility of musculoskeletal pains have sub-stantial impact on the muscle tone and strength of muscle examined.
