Sports Taping – Softcover

The main uses of taping are selective protection, support and offloading. In the case of certain existing iniuries, the deliberate limitation of ioint mobility can help to avoid further iniury. The advantage of taping over complete rest is obvious: metabolic activity in the area concerned can be maintained at a high level, largely avoiding unwanted wastage of muscle tissue. Most sporting activity can even be continued, while following the advice of a physician. Taping also has an important role to play in sports iniury prevention, as proven by its use for many years at elite level. “Sports Taping” shows the main applications of taping, and includes step-bystep guides to the taping procedure. Accompanying measures such as skin protection are also featured.
