Just As the title said ..... to be more clear i saw LCW and some badminton player including Nadal .... they will tape the area of their leg just below the knees .... i was wondering does anybody know what does it do to help the player .....
It is a strap to dissipate some of the force of the patellar tendon on the tibia. They train so much that tendonitis is a frequent problem.
they tape it to look cool lol........ no. as Fidget said. also some already have injuries and tape to prevent the strain from getting worse.
Of which I have two! Its a very annoying pain just below the knee that only gets worse if there is no support. It can be so bad that walking is impeded the next day after playing. The straps act as shock absorbers, and give support to the tendon when lunging.
Hmmm...1 Quick Question here... i feel some pain in my shoulder... and its most probablt due to playing badminton.. will the same strap work for shoulder too??
It's so depressing to call it a disease. I know that's how it's labeled, but it sounds like some insidious process that is going to eat you alive. Really it's just a knob of bone that hopefully, one day, will not hurt you anymore. What kind of jokers want a disease named after them, anyhow? Oh well, better than being the 'Morgagni' of the Columns of Morgagni (google it).
if it acts as shock absorbers and support to tendon when lunging then should I be wearing it even if the pain has not really come? I do shadow like every other day.
