Although there are many kinds of sports protective equipment, it is not necessary to wear them in every sport during sports and competitions. It is necessary to select necessary protective equipment for different sports and effectively protect the vulnerable parts. If you want to play basketball, you can wear wrist protection, knee protection and ankle protection. If you go to play football, you’d better wear leg guards in addition to knee pads and ankle pads, because the tibia is the most vulnerable part in football.
Friends who like playing tennis, badminton and table tennis will have pain in their elbows even if they wear elbow protectors after a game, especially when playing backhand. Experts tell us that this is commonly known as “tennis elbow”. In addition, the tennis elbow is mainly at the moment of hitting the ball. The wrist joint is not braked or locked, and the forearm extensor is excessively pulled, causing damage to the attachment point. After the elbow joint is protected, the wrist joint is not protected, so there is still an excessive flexion action when hitting the ball, which can aggravate the damage to the elbow joint.
So when playing tennis, if you feel pain in the elbow joint, you’d better wear wrist guards while wearing elbow pads. And when choosing wrist guards, you must choose those without elasticity. If the elasticity is too good, it will not protect you. And don’t wear it too tight or too loose. If it is too tight, it will affect the blood circulation, and if it is too loose, it will not protect.
In addition to the three big balls and three small balls, if you are skating or roller skating and you are tying your shoelaces, you must tighten them all. Some people think that if you tie them all, your ankles will not move flexibly, so you should tie them less. This is not right. The high waist design of roller skates is to limit the activities of your ankle joints beyond the range, so you will not easily sprain your feet. Young friends like some extreme sports, so they must wear professional protective equipment to effectively prevent being injured.
Finally, we should remind everyone that protective equipment only plays a certain role in sports, so in addition to wearing some protective equipment, we should try our best to master formal technical movements and strictly abide by the rules of the game. In addition, once you are injured in a sports competition, you should first stop exercising, if possible, use ice to ease the pain, and then go to the hospital to find a professional doctor for pressure dressing.
