In sports, elbow supports are widely used in activities such as basketball, volleyball, and softball, which require frequent use of the arms and elbows. They help reduce the stress that athletes may experience in high-intensity activities while lowering the risk of injury. Additionally, some athletes may use elbow supports during the rehabilitation process to provide extra support and facilitate recovery of the injured area. The need for elbow braces depends on the specific work or sport, typically aimed at protecting the elbow from potential injury or reducing stress.
Sports Elbow Support
Sports Elbow Support improves the movement of the elbow during longer sporting activities through gentle, beneficial compression and protects against overloading. The support surrounds the upper arm and forearm.
Two anatomically contoured functional elements or “pads” protect the inside and outside of the elbow joint against pressure peaks. When the arm moves, the pads and the knitted fabric of the support massage the connective tissue and the muscles. This action stimulates circulation and metabolism. This stimulation over a large area triggers positive sensorimotor feedback: the stabilising muscles are activated more quickly, thus improving joint coordination in the long term. This provides effective protection against stress and injury risks. Irritation and overloading pain subside more quickly, preventing the adoption of damaging relief postures.
The knitted fabric of the Sports Elbow Support is similar to a fine net made of an airy mesh and consists of a breathable, hard-wearing material. This makes the support especially lightweight, comfortable to wear, and practical for sports. Its anatomic contouring and adhesive zones guarantee a secure fit and maximum freedom of movement.
Sports Compression Arm Sleeves
The Sports Compression Arm Sleeves strengthen the arm muscles with a comfortable compression effect. The compressive effect is based on medical standards, i.e. it decreases from wrist to upper arm, promoting circulation. The muscles receive a better supply of oxygen, continue to perform more effectively and regenerate faster. Stimulating blood circulation also causes the arm muscles to quickly heat up, which makes them better protected against injury. The compression reduces uncomfortable muscle vibrations in the biceps and triceps, thus preventing premature fatigue.
The sleeves, which come in a sporty design, are available as a pair and are durable, breathable and extra-soft in the elbow area for increased wearing comfort. They can be washed at 40 °C and can be tumble-dried. To ensure the correct size is selected, the circumference of the wrist and the upper arm at the level of the armpit must be measured, as well as the length of the arm from the wrist to the armpit.
