When do I need sports gear?

Although there are many types of sports protective gear, when carrying out sports and competitions, it is not necessary to bring it in every sport. To choose the necessary protective gear for different sports, and to effectively protect the vulnerable parts can.

 

 

1. If you want to play basketball, just wear wrist braces, knee pads, and ankle braces.

 

2. If you are going to play football, in addition to knee pads and ankle pads, it is best to wear a leg shield because the tibia is the most vulnerable part in football.

 

3. Friends who like to play tennis, badminton, and table tennis. When they hit a ball, especially when playing backhand, the elbow will hurt, even if they wear elbow pads. Experts tell us this popular name is "tennis" elbow". And this tennis elbow is mainly at the moment of hitting the ball, the wrist joint is not braked, the wrist is not locked, the extensor muscle of the forearm is excessively stretched, causing damage to the attachment point. After the elbow joint is protected, the wrist joint is not protected. There is still an excessive flexion when hitting the ball, so that the damage to the elbow joint can be aggravated.

So when playing tennis, if you feel elbow pain, you should wear a wristband while wearing elbow support. And when you choose a wristband, you must choose the one without elasticity, the elasticity is too good to protect. And don't be too tight when wearing, not too loose, too tight will affect blood circulation, too loose and no protection.

 

4. In addition to these three big balls and three small balls, if you are tying shoelaces when skating or roller skating, you must fasten all of them. Some people feel that the ankle is not flexible. So, it ’s not right to tie a few lines. The high-waist design of roller skates is designed to limit your ankle's over-range activities, so that you will not easily stomp your feet. Young friends like some extreme sports, be sure to wear professional protective gear, which can effectively prevent being injured.

 

5. Finally, I want to remind everyone that the protective gear only plays a certain protective role in sports, so in addition to wearing some protective gear during sports competitions, try to master the regular technical movements and strictly abide by the rules of the game. In addition, once you are injured in a sports competition, you must first stop continuing to exercise. If possible, apply ice packs to relieve pain, and then you must go to the hospital to find a professional doctor for pressure bandaging.

 

Precautions

Due to the different strains of bone and joints in the elderly, older friends should wear some ankle pads, knee pads, and waist pads when outing and hiking, and in the usual exercise, they must first control their exercise volume, and then Just don't do exercises that overstretch joints and tendons.
