Back support belt used by XXF

[Qidong]

I saw pro players like XXF put on a black belt on her waist before her matches. Does anyone know what it's called, and where I can buy it? I have back problem, and I hope it may help.

this might sound terribly silly...but:

a back support?

Thanks. I did search on google. But just not sure which one is good for sport especially for badminton. If I can find out which brand and model the pro badminton players are using. Or if BCer's have tried any back support belt and can recommend it, that would be great.

I believe, not only XXF, but many CHN national players wear this product, it's made by Phiten, they also produced necklace, wrist band...etc. the only place I known carried this type of products is www.badminton.net, here you go;

i... thought they were merely supports made by LP.
not these gimmicky products.
i do not think team china thinks they can gain an edge by using these items.

athlete will do anything within the legal boundary to gain some edge... or to pump up the mind in making it believe that you'll have some edge by using XYZ product -> it a self fulfilling phropecy

Most of them use LP back support. For Phiten goods, its usually wristbands,titanium tapes and necklace.
