Introduction to common sports protective gear
1. Helmet
Mostly used by skating, skateboarding, cycling, rock climbing and other sports, helmets can reduce or even eliminate the impact of objects on the head injury to ensure safety. The shock absorption effect of the helmet is divided into two types: soft protection and hard protection. During the impact, the soft protection reduces the impact force by increasing the impact distance, and all the kinetic energy of the impact is transferred to the head; the hard protection does not increase the impact distance, but digests the kinetic energy through its own fragmentation.
2. Goggles
Goggles are auxiliary equipment used to protect the eyes. The main function is to prevent the eyes from being damaged by strong light and sandstorms. Protective glasses have the characteristics of transparency, good elasticity and not easy to break.
3. Wristbands
Mostly used by volleyball, basketball, badminton and other ball sports. The wrist brace can effectively reduce the excessive flexion and extension of the wrist, especially the tennis ball is very fast. Wearing the wrist brace can reduce the impact on the wrist when the ball touches the racket and protect the wrist.
4. Waist support
Mostly used by weightlifters and throwers, and some athletes often use them when doing heavy-duty strength training. The waist is the middle link of the human body. When doing heavy-duty strength training, it needs to be transmitted through the center of the waist. When the waist is not strong enough or the movement is incorrect, it will be injured. The use of the waist support can effectively support and fix the function, and can effectively prevent the waist from spraining.
5. Knee pads
Mostly used by volleyball, basketball, badminton and other ball sports, but also by heavy-duty sports such as weightlifting and fitness. Often used. The use of knee pads can better fix the joints, reduce the collision and wear of the joints during sports, and also prevent the damage to the epidermis during sports.
6. Ankle braces
Generally used by sprinters and jumpers in track and field events. The use of ankle brace
s can stabilize and protect the ankle joint, prevent ankle sprains, and prevent over-stretching of the Achilles tendon. For those with ankle injuries, it can also effectively reduce the range of motion of the joint, relieve pain and speed up recovery.
