Objective: To determine the acute effects of dynamic tape on scapular positioning and isometric muscle strength of the shoulder in swimmers with rounded shoulders. Methods: Randomized controlled trial on 40 active swimmers, 20 assigned to an experimental group with application of dynamic tape with tension and 20 to the control group with application without tension. Scapular positioning and isometric muscle strength measurements of the shoulder were made before (ST), immediately after (TA) and on the third day (T3D) after tape application. Results: There were no statistically significant differences in most of variables of study, only for lateral scapular slide test 30º and isometric muscle strength of rhomboids on dominant upper limb (p <0.05), no statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group were detected (p <0.05). Conclusion: The application of dynamic tape does not produce statistically significant changes in scapular positioning and isometric muscle strength of the shoulder in swimmers.
